Re: Outgoing mail filters

[urgrue <urgrue@tumsan.fi>]

hi,
yes it works for outgoing also. this because im not running mailscanner 
in procmail (which is how most people set up their mail scanners), but 
like this:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/
spool/mqueue.in
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m -om
/opt/mailscanner/bin/check_mailscanner

so you see, one instance of sendmail spools my mail to mailscanner's 
dir (mqueue.in), mailscanner goes through that dir continuously, scans 
the contents, and moves scanned files to sendmails real queue dir, and 
the second instance of sendmail sends from there.
thus, since i use the same server for sending and receiving mail, 
incoming and outgoing mail are all the same

the beauty of it is, these startup commands are the totality of the 
configuration required to get it working with sendmail. you dont have 
to lay a finger on procmailrc, sendmail.cf, or anything else.
