[AMaViS-tech] MTA module reading result of quarantine_problem_message

[John L. <jo...@bl...>]

Hello.

In doing active testing of my AMAVIS::MTA::Courier module for amavis-ng,
I have found that it would be useful to find out whether the
quarantine_problem_message function has placed the message into the
quarantine directory or the problems directory. In this implementation,
we actually get to return an error message to the user's mail client, so
I don't want to return a "550 Message quarantined due to possible virus"
if amavis is instead putting it in the problems directory - I can return
a 250, and reinject manually if the message is indeed valid and/or virus
free.

On a side note, how often should the MIME parser fail on messages? Since
putting my module into active testing 12 hours ago, I have had over 50
mails that have gotten put into the problems directory. Most are spam,
which is maybe OK, but some messages (even warning mails from
Postmaster) are getting deferred.

Here is a postmaster mail that was put into 'problems'. I cannot see why
it should have been:
