There is a bit about mimedefang that I haven't got a grasp over and I haven't
managed to find an answer to what I'm trying to do, even if I have tried my
best at the mimedefang site and the wiki and of course google.com. Of course I
could join the maillist and ask there, but I'm all to lazy to join a maillist
for one question, so I hope someone here could push me in the right direction.

I have a somewhat modified filter_end which uses spamassassin to scan the mail
and I have added a check where I bounce the mail at once if the result is all
to high.

if ($hits >= 3 * $req) {
action_bounce("Sorry, we can't accept this spam.");
return;
}

This works fine, but there is a mailserver that forwards mail to me, there
aren't any spam prevention on the remote mailserver and I wish to have a lower
threshold on mails that are forwarded from that server

I would like to do something like this

if (($remote=="remote.example.net") && ($hits >= 2 * $req)) {
action_bounce("Sorry, we can't accept this spam.");
return;
}

But I'm not sure how I get the ip-name/ip-number of the remote server that
delivers the mail in the filter_end stage and I guess it won't just be to
modify the

sub filter_end {
my($entity) = @_;

to

sub filter_end {
my($entity,$ip) = @_;


Perl ain't my strong side and unsure about how everything works in mimedefang,
I would be happy if someone wrote a simple example how to do what I want, but
will be happy even with a link to a page that explains how to access different
values in filter_end.

Thanks in advance for your .

See the mimedefang-filter(5) manpage.


GLOBAL VARIABLES SET BY MIMEDEFANG.PL
The following global variables are set by mimedefang.pl and are
available for use in your filter. All of these variables are
always available to filter_begin, filter, filter_multipart
and filter_end. In addition, some of them are available in
filter_relay, filter_sender or filter_recipient. If this is
the case, it will be noted below.

[...]

$RelayHostname
The host name of the relay. This is the name of the host
which is attempting to send e-mail to your host. May
be "undef" if the host name could not be determined.
This variable is available in filter_relay, filter_sender
and filter_recipient.

$RelayAddr
The IP address of the sending relay (as a string consisting
of four dot-separated decimal numbers.) One potential use
of $RelayAddr is to limit mailing to certain lists to
people within your organization. This variable is available
in filter_relay, filter_sender and filter_recipient.




Regards,

Kees.
