beautifully. It also has the ability to duplicate emails for archiving/censorship etc.. (Nasty I know, but required by alot of companies, and achieved with one extra line of perl) Note: AMaViS will never support this. It's at least prohibited by German law. Ah, well, reminds me to read a paper written by two lawyers here in Germany again.
Yes, it is not enabled by default, but is left as an exercise to the installer if needed. It IS legal in Australia and the US, inside a company as the company "owns" all communications inside the company. I installed it for the AU Franchises of a couple of the world's largest companies.....
Duplicating incoming emails is trivial, just set an alias like:
seifried: seifried, /var/spool/backup/mail/seifried
yes, this would have to be added for every user though, and is absolutely useless for a firewall/relay where you have many thousands of email addresses that are not actually hosted on the machine doing the scanning.
As for outgoing email I have yet to find a good solution. Personally I like copying all incoming emails, since I tend to delete stuff I later want =).
Yah, with Mfilter, there is no differentiation, as it scans it inbetween SMTPD accepting the email and Sendmail forwarding it, whether it goes to UUCP, Procmail or ESMTP (etc etc..) is irrelevant
