Here are some comments on it all... There aren't many and I think this
is good plan and should be carried out. Want a hand with anything?
* Configuration perl script.
Is it really needed? Wouldn't it help people to re-write their
configuration so that they *know* what changed and how it changed?
* Routers.
Agree with most of what is said about complexity there. I like the way
this is going, but there maybe a benefit to have sub-section in the
router. Just formating, so it will look like:
a_router_example:
condition: ...
condition: ...
do: ...
do: no_more
* Message arrival rate checking
Since I proposed this in the first place... At E^2, thats already what
we are doing. Since we are load balanced and have multiple servers in
each spool, the problems of flood is very limitted. However, this may
well provide a problem on smaller deployment.
Ceratinly not reject messages -- that's bad (tm). But freeze them should
be fine.
Compile time or configure option?
* Configuration file
I don't see the use of that for configuration files. However, some
filter files *may* benefit from this feature -- for example, Nigel's
ILOVEYOU scanner.
Keep the backslash, it's a `standard way' of doing stuff with Unix.
