Hi,

In an earlier posting, I gave the URL to a Perl daemon script I wrote.
You may find it useful if you use only pure SMTP and no SASL extension.
The URL is:

        <http://www.magix.com.sg/users/sweeheng/macofida/index.htm>

This daemon will receive your mail via port 10025, run it through your
scanner and examine the result. If the scanner is happy, the mail is
relayed to port 10026. If the scanner complains or the delivery to 10026
fails, the client on 10025 will be informed.

To make it work with AVPDaemon, you need to add in a few lines of code.
I think that should be relatively easy if you know Perl. The source code
of amavis-perl is a good reference for this task.

AFAIK, the other software that may serve your need is Bennett Todd's
tailbiter script. It was posted to the list two days back. You might
want to check the online archive of postfix-users
<http://msgs.securepoint.com/postfix>.

If you encounter any problems with macofida, please let me know.
