MIMEDefang is a flexible MIME email scanner designed to do all kinds of email processing, including anti-virus scanning, anti-spam scanning, replacing parts of messages with URLs, adding boilerplate disclaimers, and so on. It can alter or delete various parts of a MIME message according to a Perl-based policy filter. It can also bounce messages with unacceptable attachments and modify SMTP response codes on the fly. It works with the Sendmail 8.11 and newer "Milter" API, which makes it more flexible and efficient than procmail-based approaches. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The multiplexor can be compiled to use "poll" instead of "select"; on many systems, this increases the number of file descriptors (and hence scanning processes) that the multiplexor can manage. Support for the FPROT version 6 daemonized virus scanner was added.
I'm a newbie trying to install mimedefang on a raq550 running strongbolt2 (Centos 4.8) but I get a problem right at the start. I downloaded and untar'd mimedefang-2.67.tar.gz. The install instructions say:

Test::Email - Test Email Contents
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Email;
# is-a MIME::Entity
my $email = Test::Email->new(@lines);
# all-in-one test
$email->ok({
# optional search parameters
from => ($is or qr/$regex/),
subject => ($is or qr/$regex/),
body => ($is or qr/$regex/),
headername => ($is or qr/$regex/),
}, "passed tests");
# single-test header methods
$email->header_is($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->header_ok($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->header_like($header_name, qr/regex/, "$header_name matches");
# single-test body methods
$email->body_is($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->body_ok($header_name, $value, "$header_name matches");
$email->body_like($header_name, qr/regex/, "$header_name matches");
# how many MIME parts does the messages contain?
$email->parts_ok($parts_count, "there were $parts_count parts found");
# what is the MIME type of the firs part
my @parts = $email->parts(); # see MIME::Entity
$parts[0]->mime_type_ok('test/html', 'the first part is type text/html');
DESCRIPTION
Please note that this is ALPHA CODE. As such, the interface is likely to change.
Test::Email is a subclass of MIME::Entity, with the above methods. If you want the messages fetched from a POP3 account, use Test::POP3.
Tests for equality remove trailing newlines from strings before testing. This is because some mail messages have newlines appended to them
during the mailing process, which could cause unnecessary confusion.
This module should be 100% self-explanatory. If not, then please look at Test::Simple and Test::More for clarification.
METHODS
"my $email = Test::Email->new($lines_aref);"
This is identical to "MIME::Entity->new()". See there for details.
"$email->ok($test_href, $description);"
Using this method, you can test multiple qualities of an email message with one test. This will execute the tests as expected and will
produce output just like "Test::Simple::ok" and "Test::More::ok". Keys for $test_href are either "body", or they are considered to be
the name of a header, case-insensitive.
single-test methods
The single-test methods in the synopsis above are very similar to their counterparts in Test::Simple and Test::More. Please consult
those modules for documentation.
Please note that tests for equality remove newlines from their operands before testing. This is because some email messages have
newlines appended to them during mailing.
"my $ok = $email-"parts_ok($parts_count, $description);>
Check to see how many MIME parts this email contains. Each part is also a Test::Email object.
"my $ok = $email-"mime_type_ok($expected_mime_type, $description);>
Check the MIME type of an email or an email part.
EXPORT
None.
