Quarantine permissions

[Steve Freegard]

Hi Kris,

Thanks for the info.

I'm using PHP also - so far I've got a quarantine viewer which shows all the
messages (date, from, to, subject, size, sascore, quarantine reason) and
another bit which allows release of Spam messages and/or files caught by the
filename rules using the pear Mail::MIME class.

I've got it slightly easier as I'm reading the message info from MySQL and
not the syslogs, so I don't have to worry about log rotation.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Steve,
I am doing a VERY similar thing with PHP.  It will retrieve e-mail from
quarantine on a certain date.  I am having trouble with the quarantine
directory as well as the daily rotated out syslogs. I have been playing with
a utility for Tru64 that allows you to set permissions, regardless of what
something else tells it to be.  You might want to see if your OS has an
option like that.

Hi Julian,

I've just been looking at putting a feature into MailWatch to release
quarantined spam and/or blocked files that a few people have requested.

I've still got a fair bit to do, but do have it working for the most part -
but I have to manually keep chown/chmodding the quarantine files as root as
Quarantine.pm creates the files/dirs mode 0700 root:root.  To work correctly
from MailWatch, ideally the dirs should be 0750 root:apache, and the files
0640 root:apache, but this will vary depending on people's local set-ups.

Any chance that you could add a couple of options the MailScanner.conf to
give the values for 'Quarantine Files Mode', 'Quarantine Dirs Mode' and
'Quarantine Owner/Group' or something similar?

Kind regards,
Steve
