Re: [clear] BATV on Postfix, on hold

I think an alternative approach could be to use a combination of external 
programs without touching the Postfix internals.

I think that one could use an external program to generate a valid BATV 
address and place it in an appropriate map for Postfix to re-write

http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html

Then on the inbound side a policy service could be used to check and determine 
if the message should be rejected

http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html

Still not simple, but potentially doable without patching Postfix internals.

Mr. Levine was kind enough to provide the Qmail patch
source for me to adapt to Postfix.

After digging through the source for several hours, I
narrowed down the likely places to implement it.  My
guess is the trivial-rewrite and smtpd programs.

However, I also realized that it would take a great
deal of time for me to pull all the pieces together.
I don't know the insides of Postfix that well.

This research was funded by a client and I informed
him that one of Postfix developers could do it much
faster and at less expense.  So, it is on hold for
now.  If my client pursues this further, I will notify
the list.
