[Mimedefang] Disabling outbound mail filtering?

[Philip Clever]

do it with the mimedfang filter, replace the x's with your own octets:

<SNIP>

#***********************************************************************
# %PROCEDURE: filter_relay
# %ARGUMENTS:
#  None
# %RETURNS:
#  Nothing
# %DESCRIPTION:
#  Works with the multiplexor relay checking function
#***********************************************************************

# Do not filter outbound mail (local relays)
sub filter_relay {
    my($hostip, $hostname, $helo) = @_;

        if ($hostip eq '127.0.0.1' or
        $hostip =~ /^xx\.xx\.xx\.\d{1,3}$/ or
        $hostip =~ /^xx\.xx\.xx\.\d{1,3}$/) {
        return ('ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING', "ok");
    }
    return ('CONTINUE', "ok");
}

</SNIP>

-regards,

Philip
