Hi all.

I've been trying to get DBMail working with sendmail ( as
some of you
may remember ). I think I've had enough of that now. I'm
considering
people's recommendations to use Postfix, but I'd like to
know if the
following is possible ...

Currently we use CanIt ( http://www.canit.ca ) to do
advanced content
filtering. The main feature that this provides ( that I'm
not sure if I
can reproduce elsewhere ) is the ability to hold messages in
transit
until an administrator ( ie me ) verifies that they're OK.
The main type
of file that I'm interested in is zip files. We receive a
lot of zip
files from customers, so we can't just reject all of them.
But then we
also receive a lot of viruses inside zip files, and
experience has shown
that virus scanners ( both on the mail server and on the
desktop ) don't
always catch these. But I do - if I can see the email text
and
attachment name, that's all I need to be able to tell CanIt
to accept or
reject the email.

Is anything like this ( holding email in transit until it's
given the OK
) available with Postfix? CanIt (which is based on
mimedefang ) requires
sendmail ( they need the milter API, and the developers
claim that
Postfix's milter isn't up to the job ).

    Hello,

Your question might be better answered elsewhere since it doesn't have much to do with dbmail, but I can tell you that I use something called Maia which is itself a frontend/manager type thing for SpamAssassin and Amavis.  It certainly can hold zip files for you, and it looks like (at first glance at least) it can do anything else that Canit does. ; It works very well with postfix and dbmail.
