MIMEDEFANG.PL(8) System Manager's Manual MIMEDEFANG.PL(8) NAME mimedefang.pl - Perl script to scan MIME messages. SYNOPSIS mimedefang.pl [-f filter] dir DESCRIPTION mimedefang.pl is a Perl script designed to work with mimedefang(8). It takes a single argument which is a directory which should contain files laid out as described in mimedefang(8). OPTIONS -f filter Specifies the name of the file containing the filter. If this op- tion is omitted, the default filter /usr/local/etc/mimede- fang/mimedefang-filter is used. OPERATION mimedefang.pl evaluates the file /usr/local/etc/mimedefang/mimedefang-fil- ter as a Perl fragment. This file should define the filter procedure. For each part of a MIME message, mimedefang.pl calls filter and disposes of the part as instructed by the filter. The various modes of disposition are de- scribed in mimedefang-filter(5). TESTING FILTERS You are strongly recommended to test your filter before installing it in /usr/local/etc/mimedefang/mimedefang-filter. To test the filter, save it in a file (e.g. test-filter) and run this command: mimedefang.pl -f test-filter -test This tests the filter for syntactic correctness. If it passes, you can in- stall it as a production filter. (Note that the test tests only for cor- rect Perl syntax; it doesn't make sure your filter does something sensi- ble.) MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS There are a few other ways to invoke mimedefang.pl: mimedefang.pl -features prints a list of detected optional Perl modules. The output looks some- thing like this: SpamAssassin: yes mimedefang.pl -validate calls the function filter_validate, if it is defined in your filter. fil- ter_validate should return an integer; this becomes the exit code. If fil- ter_validate does not exist, an error message is printed and mimedefang.pl exits with an exit code of 1. AUTHOR mimedefang.pl was written by Dianne Skoll <dfs@roaringpenguin.com>.
