Autor: Carl Inglis Datum: To: exim-users Betreff: [exim] Detecting attachments using a transport_filter
[Moderator: Please ignore the copy of this that came from a
non-subscribed address - my apologies for my mistake]
I've been asked by management (always a worrying way to start an email)
to setup a method of detecting attachments entering and leaving the
company via email. I've written a perl script to accept a message on
STDIN, break it down into its parts if it's MIME, detect if any of its
parts are non text/*, send an email to a nominated address and return
the message unedited on its STDOUT.
The problem I'm having is getting Exim to fire this script for each
message it sees. I've looked at a transport_filter, but I'm getting
errors in my mainlog when Exim tries to run this:

2005-02-10 17:21:42 1CzHxD-0000Me-6J == test@??? R=amavis
T=amavis defer (-24): transport filter process failed (2)
[snip]
I've checked the permissions, and run the script as the Exim user. It
runs fine.
Is a transport_filter the best way to do this, or am I missing something
really obvious? If the latter, any pointers in the right direction would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carl
