[Mimedefang] Problems with "action_replace_with_url"

[Jim Tanner]

Hi,

Another dumb question regarding "action_replace_with_url". 
I copied the example from mimedefang-filter(5) and placed it at the end of 
"sub filter" as shown below:

           $size = (stat($entity->bodyhandle->path))[7];
           if ($size > 1000000) {
                action_replace_with_url($entity,
                     "/home/httpd/html/mail_parts",
                     "http://mailserver.company.com/mail_parts",
                     "The attachment was larger than 1,000,000 bytes.\n" .
                     "It was removed, but may be accessed at this 
URL:\n\n" .
                     "\t_URL_\n");
           }

    return action_accept();
}

The first problem is that whilst MD creates the files in "$doc_root" it 
doesn't actually remove the attachment(s) from the message. In order to 
get MD to remove the oversized attachment(s) I had to change the line to:

"return action_replace_with_url($entity,"

Is this correct (ie. an error exists in the man page) or do I need 
additional statements in mimedefang-filter to achieve the correct 
functionality?

The second problem is that in either case MD doesn't appear to scan the 
oversized attachment(s) for viruses. We would prefer infected attachments 
to be quarantined/rejected rather than being placed on a web site for 
someone to download :)
Is this a bug or am I missing something?

NB. I searched the archives and found similar questions regarding 
"action_replace_with_url" but not many responses.

Regards,
