spam and virusprotection, rcpt addresses, return path

Hello,

first i'd like to say, that i really like postfix' easy configuration.
But after using postfix for about a year i run in some trouble.
I hope theses problems can be solved by another configuration, patche or
whatever. If i do not get rid of these i might need to change mta Sad

.

First of all i want to have an easy way of filtering spam and viruses.
The best would be if i can scan for spam and virus just while recieving
the mail, so i can reject it, if configurable conditions are met,
otherwise the mail should be tagged.
I don't want to have tagged outgoing mail and mails i recieve as
secondary mx.

The second thing is maybe just a little configuration issue. I regulary
get mails with reciepient syntax -crazynick-@cheapprovider.tld bounced.
Does this conform with the rfc and however, can i make postfix accept
these mails? I do not want these mails to be lost.

The third problem is when sending mails via the sendmail binary
interface via a perl or php script executed by the webserver, the return
path is always set to the posix system user, in this case www-data. This
makes the mail return to me as administrator (via aliases www-data ->
root -> admins). I want them to return to the from address (or the MAIL
FROM:), so the admin of the script gets the information on unavailable
reciepients.

I would be happy to have these problems solved.
Thx in advance,
yours sincerely
