As far as looking up recipient settings is concerned, I think you have a misconception of what SQL's function is in general (under normal conditions). The first two samples in amavisd.conf-sample are defaults, and the third is a work-around for those people that are not using the amavisd-new schema, but instead are using some foreign data structure they wish to incorporate in some fashion in order to get some basic information, such as whether a domain is local or not. If you use the default $sql_select_policy, the map-like structure is incorporated into the policy table: virus_lover spam_lover banned_files_lover bad_header_lover bypass_virus_checks bypass_spam_checks bypass_banned_checks bypass_header_checks spam_modifies_subj virus_quarantine_to spam_quarantine_to banned_quarantine_to bad_header_quarantine_to clean_quarantine_to other_quarantine_to spam_tag_level spam_tag2_level spam_kill_level spam_dsn_cutoff_level spam_quarantine_cutoff_level addr_extension_virus addr_extension_spam addr_extension_banned addr_extension_bad_header warnvirusrecip warnbannedrecip warnbadhrecip newvirus_admin virus_admin banned_admin bad_header_admin spam_admin spam_subject_tag spam_subject_tag2 message_size_limit banned_rulenames Each recipient has a policy assigned to them. The data in the recipient's policy determines whether they are included in one of the above (or have configured one of the above). As far as @local_domains_maps is concerned, if a recipient record exists, that is enough for the recipient to be considered local. For domain-wide settings, a recipient could be a domain, and for site-wide settings, a recipient could be a catchall (catchall is not considered local however). The SQL statement referenced by the $sql_select_policy is only performed once per message, and the results are cached. Read this and see if it clarifies any more: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/virtualp2.html#policy BTW, this link shows how I interpret how this functions, and may not be perfectly correct. -- Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
