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.
