Hells bells, I'm just about there now. The postfix interface is rather
simple (i.e. just SMTP) and through the camram option file, you can
specify reinjection location. But yes, anybody can inject as long as
they have access to local host which is a potential source of mischief.
on a related note, I got beat up (somewhat) on the postfix list. The
people there are of the opinion that if a message has multiple
recipients, it should be replicated so that each recipient gets their
own copy with their own stamp.
The argument for this is that most MTAs can cope with headers of only a
limited size. For example, sendmail is reputed to be able to cope with
only 32K worth of header.
Personally, I consider this issue to be no big deal but it was very
important to them so I agreed to try it.
Opinions?
