[Mimedefang] stream_by_recipient takes too long

[Murat Isik]

Hello,

I am running MD 2.39 on Fedora Core 1. I have been palying around with
stream_by_recipient in order to be able to assign different mail users
different priviliges. So far, technically, it works fine. First it does
virus check. Then if a mail with an attachment to be filtered is sent to a
priviliged user and cc ed to an unpriviled user, the first one gets the
attachment and the second doesnot. So far so good. However there is one
problem . Even in local delivery it takes around an hour for the both users
to get these mails. Here is my code I use:

somewhere before filter_begin:

sub canonicalize_email ($) {
my($email) = @_;
$email =~ s/^<//;
$email =~ s/>$//;
$email = lc($email);
return $email;
}


at the very end of filter_begin:

return if (stream_by_recipient());


in filter after virus checking part:

if (canonicalize_email($Recipients[0]) eq 'priviliged at doman.com') {
return;
}


Here is what the maillog says when I send mail with attachment to both
users:

At first I thought the mail got discarded somehow but about an hour later I
got both of the mails into my testing outlook. During that time sendmail
queue was empty so the mails got stuck somewhere else I guess.

Any ideas?
