Qmail Support Forum

Hi List!

I run a server ( debian sarge ) with netqmail 1.05 having
smtp-auth, ssmtp, spop3, clamav virus-checker and spam filter
for multiple domains. This is running fine since years.

I have the following problem:

I want to retreive mails from the ISP's pop3 server and
check them against spams and viruses and deliver them to our users.
It would be nice to use the already present qmail-based system.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks for advices

getmail and fetchmail can both handle getting the mail and injecting
it into your qmail system. I believe both of those programs can be
configured to scan messages for viruses as they're processed, or you
can have qmail do the scanning after they're injected.

Good luck!

Thanks for your answer!
I would prefer the getmail solution.
The Clamav virus checking is fine for me ( it's already running as a
daemon ).
But I use for spam checking rblsmtpd. ( In the faq tehre is only
spamasassin mentioned.

How can I use rblsmtpd with getmail?

getmail supports arbitrary filtering through external programs, so RBLs are
not a problem (though you wouldn't use rblsmtpd). But if you have
getmail-specific questions, they probably belong on the getmail users' mailing
list, not the qmail mailing list.
