Hello all,
In clamav-milter.c, I see:
/*
* Using TCP/IP for the sendmail->clamav-milter connection
*/
if((hostmail = smfi_getsymval(ctx, "{if_name}")) == NULL) {
if(use_syslog)
syslog(LOG_ERR, _("Can't get sendmail hostname"));
return cl_error;
}
However, I see here:
http://www.milter.info/sendmail/milter-ahead/CHANGES.TXT
When {if_addr}, {if_name}, and j macros are underfined fall
back onto the value of interface-name instead of "[127.0.0.1]"
for use with the call-ahead HELO.
And here:
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.mail.postfix.devel/page=5
{if_name} interface name client connected to;
NULL for loopback
Both of these lead me to believe that it is a valid condition for
{if_name} to be NULL.
So I am curious what the value of the check is. This all came up
because a Debian user was trying to use postfix with clamav-milter over
a tcp socket. It is unclear to me whether postfix just does not set
this macro, or if it was a problem of a connection over lo.
So, my question is: if {if_name} returns NULL on loopback connections,
is the test in clamav-milter.c valid? Or should it just set hostmail to
127.0.0.1 in this case? Or am I missing something and this is a postfix
problem that we should not try to support? I admit to not knowing the
milter API all that well, so I can easily believe I'm missing something
here.
Thanks,
--
