Sebastian,

I did not try but think this is a smart idea. Create an idea for this.

Coming back to your question. There are some objections ... 

SMG is not a store-and-forward process. What happens if one of these queues will be stopped?  I.e. if scanning does not work because the scanner has been stopped, then mails cannot come in or will pass without scanning. But there is no queue where they are waiting.

Only the quarantine queue is working in way which you expect. If quarantine service is not working, then the analyzer will wait until this service is back on duty. But in this situation it is too late because SMG did already decide if a mail is good or bad. And the good ones will be passed to a gwia ...

Maybe a store-and-forward process can do what you want. And there are some considerations in the background if store-and-forward will be an option for SMG.

Dear Diethmar,

thank you for your response.

i was thinking of some way for example to insert kafka service which could accept mail when it was processed by all policies (AV scanned). This way a service could collect the mails for queue that are checked through and ready to be delivered only. Others could be sent to quarantine or be blocked before described queue.

kind regards,

Sebastian Novak

Right, but then we need store and forward.

SMG will move from appliance base to rpm base which opens new opportunities ...

Dev is working on Store and Forward now but I am not sure if it will be added to non-appliance version 25.1 or 25.2
