MailScanner Text File Creation

[Stephen Conway]

Good day:

The problem with using the archive method, is that the archive only stores a
copy there, but the messages are then delivered to their final recipients.
What we need is for any mail from the domain to not be delivered , but
instead just copied to the location with the address file being generated.
Which function in customconfig would I need to use?

Thanks,

Steve

Take a look in CustomConfig.pm. There are several examples in there,
including a commented-out skeleton of what you need to do. Your Custom
Function should return 'deliver' for all the messages except the ones you
are interested in, and copy the files where you want them for the
domain.com messages. You invoke it by putting
Non spam actions = &YourCustomFunctionName
in MailScanner.conf.

The alternative approach I suggested (involving the mail archive) may be
much easier for you to get working.
