Since mailman is missing some important (for me) features and I do not know python I have written a pre-filter in perl.
The features are:
the admin can defines a config files : a list of allowed MIME types : weed = commercial ads footer
the mail is disassembled in its MIME parts, only allowed TEXT parts get in the reassembled mail, not allowed MIME types are substituted with a message "part XXX (MIME-type YYY) is not allowed, ignored", allowed MIME types are saved on the web server and substituted with a message "part XXX is saved at URL YYY"
Mailman's content filtering together with scrub_nondigest does something similar.
- missing References header are added
Constructed from what?
bad quoting (by wrong auto-wrapping of editor) is corrected
overlong lines are reformated
non-RFC Subject prefixes like "AW:" are substituted with correct "Re:"
commercial ads are deleted
full quoting at end of mail is removed
I am interested in how you do these, particularly the last two. Can I see your code?
