Hello, Here's why I see this as an amavis filter: - to filter messages that *pass* the server, in postfix queue, not when they arrive at the final recipient. Actually, the server may be *on the way*, not the IMAP/POP3 server that holds the final recipient's mailbox... - usually, users are defined as *virtual mailboxes* (please see the exact meaning at http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html). In some cases, it's pretty difficult to have LDA processing on this messages, especially when using Maildir, not a standard mbox and the final recipient does not have a home directory assigned to him (*virtual* user, as I said)... Now, would it be technically feasible ? What other idea/alternative do you suggest ? Let's asuume the full OpenOffice suite is installed on the mail server - please see: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/01/11/from-microsoft-to-openoffice.html http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/01/11/from-microsoft-to-openoffice.html?page=2 Regards, Răzvan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
