Hi List.

This is a seriously O.T question.

I need to create a basic diagram showing the process followed by exim when
mail is received.

Setup comprises of the following:
*    exim 4.30, using SpamAssassin, patched with sa-exim-3.1 & exiscan
*    system filter
*    ClamAv
*    Exim is configured to use RBL's and a custom blacklisting rule.


How would I illustrate the process?

Eg,
*    After the mail is received, the FROM address is checked against
RBLs.
*    Mail is checked for viruses.
*    Checked against system filter
*    Checked for banned attachments via demime.
*    Checked if the domain is a local domain, if not, deny.
*    Spamassassin is called and the message content is checked.
*    If clean, message queued for delivery.


Is this the correct process flow?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
