./wip/mimedefang, To inspect/modify e-mail as it passes through your mail relay

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.73b1, Package name: mimedefang-2.73b1, Maintainer: pettai

MIMEDefang is an e-mail filter program which works with Sendmail 8.12
and later. MIMEDefang filters all e-mail messages sent via SMTP.
MIMEDefang splits multi-part MIME messages into their components and
potentially deletes or modifies the various parts. It then
reassembles the parts back into an e-mail message and sends it on its
way.

MIMEDefang is written (mostly) in Perl, and the filter actions are
expressed in Perl. This makes MIMEDefang highly flexible and
configurable. As a simple example, you can delete all *.exe and *.com
files, convert all Word documents to HTML, and allow other attachments
through.

MIMEDefang uses the "milter" feature of Sendmail to "listen in" to
SMTP connections. It runs a scan once for each message, not once for
each recipient (as simpler procmail-based systems do.) Therefore, it
is more CPU-friendly than procmail-based systems. In addition,
because MIMEDefang can participate in the SMTP connection, you can
bounce messages (something impossible to do with procmail-based
systems.)

Log message:
MIMEDefang 2.73-BETA-1:

* Make configure.in check whether or not libmilter requires -lldap.

* Fix Graphdefang to handle new md_syslog output style.

* Always check return code from chdir() in mimedefang.pl.  In
  certain cases on large and heavily-loaded serversm, if the chdir()
  failed MIMEDefang would end up working in the wrong directory with
  attendant chaos.

* Add "-G" option to mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor.  This
  makes their sockets group-readable and group-writable.

* Pass along the client port number, server IP address and server port
  number to all filter functions.  This feature was sponsored by Scayl.
