#28 Patch for Courier for Amavis CVS
This patch will add support for Courier MTA.
Patch changes amavis/checkaccount.in to sense
courier's aliases file and appropriate command to update
it.
Patch changes amavis/Makefile.am to make
the /var/amavis and /var/virusmails to chmod 777 since
courier's maildrop runs as the user, this change only
happens if the courier MTA is selected.
Patch adds amavis/courier_args
amavis/courier_init /amavis/courier_send specific to the
courier mta.
Patch changes amavis/configure.in add the --enable-
courier option
Patch adds amavis/README.courier adds directions for
configuration the courier mta

This looks quite interesting!
Unfortunately, I cannot use this for amavisd as it is because
it requires that amavis prints the mail message to STDOUT (this
is how the xfilter facility works, right?)
Would it be possible to set this up similar to the qmail
support in
amavis? I.e. install amavis as maildrop, and rename maildrop to
maildrop-real. Then, instead of printing to STDOUT, let amavis
open a pipe to maildrop-real. How does that sound?

Or, even better, set DEFAULTDELIVERY to |/usr/sbin/amavis,
and just let amavis open a pipe to maildrop - no renaming
necessary.

The DefaultDelivery variable in Courierd is used to tell courier
where to deliver the mail to. The normail setting is
DefaultDelivery = ./Maildir, we override that when we use my
amavis patch with the command
DefaultDelivery="| /usr/bin/maildrop", if We put amavis in that,
amavis will have to put he email in the correct directory. That
could be a big hassle.

Not if amavis calls maildrop, I would think. Like in
mta/exim_send.
$LDA="/usr/bin/maildrop";
@LDAARGS=(); #??

If you have an idea, I tried a couple of different things, but it
bypasses the maildroprc file which contains all of the system
wide rules.

As I'm not familiar with courier, I can't really make a
suggestion :-/
My motivation is to keep the code in amavis-perl and amavisd
as much in sync as possible. maildrop's xfilter stuff cannot be
used with amavisd because the client passes the message on to
amavisd instead of filtering it to stdout.
For the time being, I would like to make your patch available on
our web site and announce it on amavis-user, maybe some
other folks have an idea.

I think I have a solution that should work with amavis daemon.
I have posted a new patch that should do the trick.

It won't. You can't let the daemon output stuff to STDOUT.
amavisd can output only through pipes or SMTP.

Patch accepted for cvs. Support for amavisd will require
major rewrite,
which is planned for version 0.2.
