The sqwebmail interface can create and manage that ~/.mailfilter file. > Do I have to use the sqmail interface to create filters and have them work? You can use any self-made method to manage ~/.mailfilter files but keep in mind that if you ever also engage sqwebmail then they need to be in a fairly strict format for sqwebmail to also use. > I don't really want to have a webmail inteface running as I don't even have > apache installed on the server. You can use any shell based language to manipulate ~/.mailfilter files according to the maildrop rules here... http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/maildropfilter.html One hint is that the global /etc/courier/maildroprc, if it exists, is looked up first before the individual users ~/.mailfilter so if you want to do some unique per user filtering before some generic rules in maildroprc then something like this could be useful at the beginning of /etc/courier/maildroprc... `test -f $HOME/.prefilter` if (!$RETURNCODE) { include $HOME/.prefilter } ... the rest of maildroprc Then you have the chance of engaging some unique per user condition, with or without the follow on sitewide filtering in maildroprc, and then also offer a fallthru ~/.mailfilter condition that could be created manually by the end user (if they have access to sqwebmail to create their own rules). --markc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
