Yeah, I understand what's going on.. but I'm thinking there isn't a good way around it unless the architecture of courier somehow changes. In that case, I'll settle for running it twice. > Do you see a way to run a maildrop filter from a central location on > recept - like maildroprc?

Part of my rationale for doing this is that filters for a particular user are based on that users's spamassassin prefs, as well as looking at that users's spamassassin bayesian filtering databases. I don't see a good way to do that with a global maildroprc. The idea here is to provide the end-user with complete control over what gets rejected or not, and per-user whitelists, etc. And since whether a message gets rejected or not is per-user, it will cause spammers sending to a bunch of addressess on my server a bunch of grief with various users rejecting the message. Hopefully there aren't any land-mines lurking in this idea I haven't thought of ;) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troy Benjegerdes 'da hozer' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job.
