script help

Hello,

I am trying to put some functionality in a script I use to clean my email. Now My weakness is programming, so my scripting and reg ex is not the strongest.

here's the help I need from all of you who breathe this stuff:

Cox is marking email from my domain as spam. the most I can get out of them is "forward your email to thisisnotspam@cox.net and they will remove it." Well they haven't, so I want to send a copy of all outgoing email to an @cox.net address to their address. this should dump quite a few emails to their address and hopefully get their attention. I told their tier 2 guy I was going to do this, and he was ok with it (ignorance?).

Anyway, I'm providing the whole script for your perusal. while I originally got this from advosys.com, it has changed so much and I've stared at it so long i'm stuck.

While investigating this, i noticed that my clamav statement will not stop the sending of an email if a virii is found and the email deleted, so clients are getting blank emails. better than a virus, but I'd rather just drop it. an if-then-else should fit this fine, as clamav returns 0 for no virus and 1 if a virus is detected.

I then realized that boththese changes need to occur in the same area of the script, and my brain freezes right there.
I've noted the lines in question (doubt) with ?->

Thank you,

anthony

# Simple filter to plug Anomy Sanitizer and SpamAssassin into
# the Postfix MTA, plus take action on very high scoring mail.
# "Action" includes sending to a holding directory for later inspection
# ("sideline" it), diverting to another e-mail address, or deleting it.
#
# Note: SpamAssassin "scores" are not foolproof, but generally
#       messages with score 15 and over are rarely legitimate mail.
