Hi all,
Since this specific post involves the FormMail.pl, I thought you guys might be interested in this article and its suggestions

Hi Kenneth:
But did you change the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail file to point elsewhere? Because it's pointing to the /usr/sbin/sendmail now and it's expecting it as a daemon.

Hello Filip,
Thank you for your script! I have been looking up several alternative paths now, and yours seem to be the better way to go.
I had not noticed before that /usr/sbin/sendmail in fact only was a symlink. I have been testing your script, and it is necessary for me to modify it.
This is what I did: I stored your script on my own local machine, added execute permissions, and made the symlink /usr/sbin/sendmail point to that file.
I edited the script with the sendmail variable to point to /etc/alternatives/mta (which points to the true sendmail executable on all my redhat based systems)
Then I tried to execute the following from command line:
echo -e "test\ntest" | mail -s "test" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
that gave the result "2.6/5.0"...
The mail was sent, without any modification, but that's likely because I did it on the command line.
Anyway, the script has been of great help, and I will likely have a filter in place some time next week.
Best regards, Kenneth

How is it possible to make such a sendmail wrapper script? Any links to
examples?
No but you can modify the script below to fit your needs:
#!/bin/sh # temporary directory TMPDIR=/tmp # temporary working file name - unix time and process ID TMPFILE=`/bin/date +%s`.$$ # temporary working file full path TMPPATH="$TMPDIR/$TMPFILE" # "true" sendmail path SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail # directory to keep "classified as spam" messages QUARANTINEDIR=/var/spool/quarantine
# remove temporary file in case of problems trap "rm -f $TMPPATH" 0 1 2 3 15
# copy input to temporary file cat - > $TMPPATH # use spamc to check if it is a spam spamc -c < $TMPPATH
if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then # No spam or spamc error $SENDMAIL "$@" < $TMPPATH EXITCODE=$? rm $TMPPATH exit $EXITCODE else # classified as spam mv $TMPPATH $QUARANTINEDIR/$TMPFILE echo "$@" > $QUARANTINEDIR/$TMPFILE.options fi
