I have gotten as far to conclude it is possible and that it might bring additional functionality when using postfix and mailscanner together. For example, it would be possible to reject a message for various reasons and still have detailed reports on the messages. It would also be possible to have more granular whitelisting capabilities (virus scan only, spam scan only, no scan, etc.). It is a ways off, but I've been looking at milter code on various things for a while.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Dec 13, 2017 at 5:36 PM, Jerry Benton <<a href="mailto:jerry.benton@mailborder.com" target="_blank">jerry.benton@mailborder.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Because MailScanner does not use a proper milter for Postfix.
