[SA-exim] SA 3.0 and Greylisting

[Kristopher Austin]

Okay, I believe I have successfully converted Marc's greylisting patch
into a plugin for SA 3.0.  However, one ability was removed until I have
time to do more research: all e-mail tuplets will be logged even if they
are over "dontgreylistthreshold."  I haven't figured out how to make the
greylisting rules run last.  Maybe Marc can figure it out when he has
the time.

Besides that, it really wasn't too difficult.  I just had to change
around a couple of variable names and make a couple of functions
"Taint-Mode" happy.

I've attached the two files necessary to make the plugin work.  Just put
them with all of your other *.cf files.  Be sure to modify sa-exim.cf to
use the variables you prefer.

Let me know if you see any glaring problems.  I've run it on a
production server now for about an hour (it's gone through 300 messages)
and haven't seen any problems.

Kris

Okay, thanks for the response.  I'll look and see if I can write the
plugin.  I'm a pretty decent programmer so I think I can figure it out.

Do you happen to have an idea of where to start to get the information
about writing Plugins for SA?

Thanks for all of the work you've put into SA-Exim.

I'm afraid there is no secret.
I haven't upgraded to SA 3.0 yet, and thus haven't written the module
(it won't be a patch SA 3.0 supports modules, so it should be cleaner)

The snow season having started, it may however mean that I'll be in cars
and/or hotel rooms with my laptop and will hopefully have time to write
this
soon

Of course, that doesn't stop someone else from doing it first, the code
in
question is not rocket science :)
