# pyquarantine-milter
A pymilter based sendmail/postfix pre-queue filter with the ability to quarantine e-mails, send notifications and modify e-mail headers and/or bodies.
The project is currently in beta status, but it is already used in a productive enterprise environment that processes about a million e-mails per month.
It is useful in many cases due to its flexible configuration and the ability to handle any number of quarantines and/or modifications sequential and conditional.
## Dependencies
pyquarantine is depending on these python packages, they are installed automatically if you are working with pip.
* [jsonschema](https://github.com/Julian/jsonschema)
* [pymilter](https://github.com/sdgathman/pymilter)
* [netaddr](https://github.com/drkjam/netaddr)
* [peewee](https://github.com/coleifer/peewee)
* [BeautifulSoup](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/)
## Installation
```sh
# Install pyquarantine with pip.
pip install pyquarantine
# Copy the example config file and modify it according to your needs.
cp /etc/pyquarantine/pyquarantine.conf.example /etc/pyquarantine/pyquarantine.conf
# Check the validity of the config file.
pyquarantine-milter -t
```
## Configuration
pyquarantine uses a config file in JSON format. It has to be JSON valid with the exception of allowed comment lines starting with **#**.
The basic idea is to configure rules that contain actions. Both rules and actions may have conditions. An example of using rules is separating incoming and outgoing e-mails using the **local** condition. Rules and actions are always processed in the given order.
### Global
Global config options:
* **socket** (optional)
Socket used to communicate with the MTA. If it is not specified in the config, it has to be set as command line option.
* **local_addrs** (optional)
List of hosts and network addresses which are considered local. It is used for the condition option [local](#Conditions).
Default: **[fe80::/64, ::1/128, 127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16]**
* **loglevel** (optional)
Set the log level. This option may be overriden by any rule or action object.
Possible values:
* **error**
