[Mimedefang] mysql mimedefang

[B. Tolka]

BTW it worked nicely. As you call can see my programming skills are
lacking.

Where would the best place to place the mysql calls?
I would really like to store it in memory somewhere and not process the
filter each time a message is sent.

Right now it resides in filter_begin and gets called from
read_spam_list. 


sub filter_begin () {

# Load /etc/mail/spam_disabled_users.txt
   read_spam_list();


Thanks for any help

There are several things wrong:

1) The open is in the loop.
2) You don't check if it succeeds.
3) It most likely _won't_ succeed, because mimedefang runs as "defang",
not "root", and probably doesn't have write permission on the file.
