<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m pretty new to MailScanner, but I do have a working
system and it works.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am having trouble tracking down a few bits of information,
though – and this is mostly a Postfix question but I figured someone here
might know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>MailScanner uses the Postfix header-checks “HOLD”
feature to scan the messages. Postfix drops the message into the
hold folder, and every few moments MailScanner will check the folder, scan all
the messages, and then drop it into a folder for postfix to grab and continue
sending the message on its way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At what time in the process does Postfix do
this? It appears that postfix will do this before
pretty much anything else. So, if I have a filter set up in the
master.cf (for instance, dspam) MailScanner always gets a hold of the message
first. What if I wanted to use dspam to tag a message
probability, and add some scores to SpamAssassin (which is run by MailScanner?)
That way, MailScanner remains the only system that’s
doing any tagging, quarantining, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>DSPAM is just an example. I can think of several
other nice little things I’d like to be able to do, too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So, I guess the question is: Is there any way to
run a filter via Postfix *<b>before</b>* MailScanner gets its turn?
Or do I have it all wrong here?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
