I use a homemade filter chain based on the Perl Mail::Audit package. The advantage is, if you know Perl, it's much easier to set up and maintain than Procmail.
The disadvantage is, if you don't know Perl you probably can't use it. Oh yeah, and running it means you have to deal with whatever overhead Perl imposes on your system for each message that comes through. -- Creede On Wed, Sep 17, 2003 at 04:02:11PM -0400, Larry Gilson wrote: > Hi All, > > I have been trying to understand the advantages and disadvantages of using > the shell script method (like that employed by SecuritySage) and the > Procmail method as a content_filter for Postfix.
