I still need to do some front end SPAM filtering but am finding that
procmail will not get invoked if the mail is not delivered locally (for
those that are familiar with mailertable I have an entry like so:
'mydomain.com procmail:/etc/procmailrc' that gets procmail to do the
filtering for all local deliveries).
I've been looking for a replacement to sendmail for a while now and have
decided that courier appears to be the answer. Can someone tell me if the
type of filtering I need to do is possible with courier and maildrop? Are
there any issues that come to mind about my above described setup for
courier?
Yes, but depending on the particular details of your setup, you may need to
do some amount of programming yourself. If you're not talking about a lot
of mail, you can probably get away with setting up a virtual domain which
funnels everything through a .courier-default file that runs maildrop,
filtering the message, then forwarding it to the original, intended,
recipient. Otherwise, there is an API that lets you program arbitrary
filtering code that gets run "on the wire". The only temporary glitch is
that right now there is no convenient access to the mail envelope
information, just the message content...
