Hello,
both man mimedefang-filter
and
http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2002-June/001444.html
specify action_bounce() to be bad. I rather agree. But how can one
"reject" via the SMTP dialogue? I mean there is:
action_tempfail($msg)
Cause an SMTP "temporary failure" code to be
returned, so the sending mail relay requeues the
message and tries again later. The message $msg is
included with the temporary failure code.
so the SMTP dialogue is still active during the filter()'ing, is there a
way to cause a "permanent failure" code, so that I do not need to bounce
the message; so you have both: you have the sender notified and won't
accuse the wrong person.
Bye,
