Some of them are listed below. + If, despite these considerations, you still want to modify messages, you + can do so using Exim, but not directly in Exim itself. It is not the job + of an MTA to modify messages, something that requires understanding of + their content and format. + +
++ Exim provides a hook in the form of a "transport filter" that lets you + pass any outgoing message through a program or script of your choice. It + is the job of this script to make any changes to the message that you + require. By this means, you have full control over what changes are + made, and Exim does not need to know anything about message bodies. + However, using a transport filter requires additional resources, and may + slow down mail delivery. + +
++ You can use Exim's directors and routers to arrange for those messages + that you want to modify to be delivered via a transport filter. For + example, suppose you want to do this for messages from addresses in + your domain that are being delivered to a remote host. Place the + following router before the standard lookuphost router: + +
+
+ filter_remote:
+ driver = lookuphost
+ transport = remote_smtp_filter
+ condition = ${if eq {$sender_address_domain}{your.domain}{yes}{no}}
++ This routes the relevant addresses to a transport called + remote_smtp_filter. Other addresses fall through to the normal router, + and are routed to the standard remote_smtp transport. Another way to do + this would be to use a single router, with an expanded string for the + transport setting. The new transport is defined thus: + +
++ remote_smtp_filter: + driver = smtp + transport_filter = /your/filter/command+
+ The entire message is passed to your filter command on its standard + input. It must write the modified version to the standard output, taking + care not to break the RFC 822 syntax. The command is run as the Exim + user, if one is defined; otherwise it is run as root. + +
++ There are a number of potential problems in doing this kind of + modification in an MTA. Many people believe that to attempt is it wrong, + because: + +
++ 1. It breaks digital signatures, which are becoming legally binding + in some countries (already in the UK, likely to be 1 October 2000 in + the USA). + +
++ 2. It is likely to break MIME encoding, that is, it is likely to wreck + attachments, unless great care is taken. + +
++ 3. It is illegal under German and Dutch law to change the body of + a mail message in transit. It might potentially be illegal in + the UK under European law. This consideration applies to ISPs and + other "common carriers". It would presumably not apply in a corporate + environment where modification was done only to messages originating + from the employees, before they left the company's network. It might + also not apply if the senders have explicitly given their consent + (e.g. agreed to have advertisements added to their incoming mail). + +
++ 4. Since the delivered message body was produced by the MTA (not the + originator, because it was modified), the MTA operator could + potentially be sued for any content. This again applies to "common + carrier" MTAs. It's interesting that adding a disclaimer of liability + could be making you liable for the message, but this case seems + more likely to involve adding advertisements than disclaimers. After + all, no postal service in the world opens all the mail it carries to + add disclaimers. + +
++ 5. Some mail clients (old versions of MS outlook) crash if the message + body of an incoming MIME message has been tampered with. + +
++ An alternative approach to the disclaimer problem would be to insist + that all relevant messages have the disclaimer appended by the MUA. The + MTA should refuse to accept any that do not. Again, however, the MTA + must understand the format of messages in order to do this. Simply + checking for appropriate wording at the end of the body is not good + enough. It would probably be necessary to run a Perl script from within + an Exim system filter in order to adopt this approach. + +
