[Mimedefang] exiting the filter before any processing

[Mack]

in the mimedefang start script /etc/rc.d/init.d/mimedefang
uncomment the line
# MX_RELAY_CHECK=no
and change it to
MX_RELAY_CHECK=yes

to enable the filter relay, and here's the bit for the filter

       sub filter_relay {
            my ($ip, $name) = @_;
            if ($name =~ /spammer\.com$/) {
                 return ('REJECT', "Sorry; spammer.com is blacklisted");
            }
            return ('CONTINUE', "ok");
       }


as taken from 
man mimedefang-filter
(a good place to read lol)

Rolf,

  I think you want to put something like this in filter_relay:

if ($RelayAddr eq 'ip address') {
	return('ACCEPT_AND_NO_MORE_FILTERING', 'ok');
}


and you'll also need to make sure you're calling mimedefang with relay 
checking turned on.

You should check the man pages for how to do this specifically as I 
don't remember off the top of my head.
