[nos-bbs] Re: Custom JNOS compiles

[Bob Lafont]

That's encouraging news Barry.

I am not a programmer so I would need to know how these steps could be
included in Jnos. Can anyone help out with this?

It *is* possible to write some NOS code which has some rudimentary spam
filtering in it so that:

1) The rewrite file can do double duty for "MAIL FROM:" as well as "RCPT
TO:" on the envelope,

2) The "Content-Type: " and "Content-Transfer-Encoding: " header lines can
be used to accept only specific kinds of "content" (such as plaintext), and,

3) An external file containing parts of subject line strings can be used to
filter on the basis of "Subject: " header line content.

Given that mirrorshades doesn't have any application services on it (except
for netstat), that is impossible.  It is strictly an IP router.
