Will this behavior or the documentation be corrected?
Ok, I looked into this. Here's what happened. The original purpose for that filter parameter were to give the filter the ability to blow away the message from the queue, hence I fed it the filename. Soon thereafter it was determined that there were some technical issues with that approach, and the correct way was to use the message's internal tracking id, and blow the message away using the cancel mechanism, hence the control file parameter was replaced with the message queue id parameter. The sample dupfilter was subsequently written. dupfilter can cancel dupes that have not been delivered yet, using their message queue id, that it gets from courierfilter, so your patch is going to break it. I think that probably the best thing to do is to append the control filename to the message queue id, instead of replacing it (and modify dupfilter accordingly). The message queue id itseld cannot contain any spaces, so appending a space, and the control filename, should work. -- Sam _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
