[Mimedefang] Re: How to exclude localhost from MD/SA checks

[Stefano McGhee]

Hello all,
	Thanks David and Ellen.  David's logic was what I was looking for,
but implemented in a way similar to Ellen's.  I was also looking to apply
this to the suspicious characters section since I seem to be getting
newsletters from CNN and other presumably legitimate sources that get
quarantined for that reason.

Cheers,

Stefano

That's an old version of MIMEDefang.  The "official" way is as follows:

if ($RelayAddr eq "127.0.0.1" or
    $RelayAddr eq "ip.of.my.server" or
    $RelayAddr =~ /^ip\.of\.my-class-c$/) {
	# Don't check for spam
} else {
	# Check for spam
}

This works with all versions of MIMEDefang.
