 MailScanner doesn't talk SMTP.  It may sound like a disadvantage, but I
don't think it is.  So I guess the answer is no.
    

 Hi Ugo,

I needed to make some important decisions based on that information,
so thanks for answering.

Are there any known problems with using MIMEDefang + MailScanner? I
mean, would it be redundant or a silly waste of server resources to
use both? Do you have any negative opinion on MIMEDefang?

I'm really going to need this action_bounce() functionality in the
future, but I still need some things done with MailScanner. Am I
making too much of an issue out of this?


  

And this time to the list... :-(

Could you not get your MTA to do this? I know Postfix (My MTA of choice)
can with out too much effort (For example by employing pre-queue spam
scanning (Using spamd). Obviously you don't need to enable the bits of
MailScanner that you have done at MTA level. The downside to this is the
potential load issues if you were to suffer a mail flood for example.

What are you looking to use this reject feature for?

Drew
