Hi Julian,
I've been using MS for about 18 months and am quite happy with it.. i've
also used openprotect (on a different set of servers) and it is working
reasonably well (though not as i would like it to).
My request: Native qmail support for the following reasons
1. openprotect announces itself as a complete package, i'd rather do the
packaging myself and pick and choose other components that i'd like to use.
2. openprotect is quite a few releases behind, i'd prefer upgrading to
the latest available stable release from mailscanner.info
3. openprotect changes some fundamental things, like the mailscanner
startup script.. i wouldn't like that.
Some changes that'll be required:
a. Qmail.pm is not up to date, can this be updated from openprotect sources.
b. Same for QMDiskStore.pm
c. ConfigDefs.pl doesn't have the necessary definitions for qmail
d. /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner doesn't have the qmail related parameters.
Finally it'd be great if you can add some postfix like queue-id support
(queue-id.random_number) to qmail as well.
If you think this is doable, i can send you the necessary files/diffs
from the latest version of openprotect.
Thanks in advance..
