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.
Hmm, Postfix has a simple way of duplicating all mail (always_bcc), just send it to procmail account and save the ones you need. At a previous job we did it for a patent law agency here in Germany. Yup, it can be done in Germany as well, depends all on explicit policies for the usage of e-mail.
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
If the obtuse smtpd would be better at relay protection, it might be ok, but I do prefer the easy integration of amavis into postfix which has better spam checks. Amavavis with Postfix also sits inbetween, no matter if the mail is local, relayed or outbound... Now if Amavis could be made to also block specific file types / mime tipes I would be really happy. cheers afx -- atsec information security GmbH Phone: +49-89-4424930 Steinstrasse 68 Fax: +49-89-4424931 D-81667 Muenchen, Germany May the Source be with you!
