It would probably be best to add a new Handlers/ module to actually test the subject and requeue the post for another list, but that's the easiest part. You also need a new Gui/ module and class to implement the web interface to maintain the list attribute that will be used for this. Take a look at header_filter_rules (in Gui/Privacy.py and handlers/SpamDetect.py) for an example. Finally, you need to modify InitVars() in MailList.py to initialize the list attribute for new lists and you have to increment DATA_FILE_VERSION in Version.py so that MailList will update old lists and add code to NewVars() in versions.py to add the list attribute for old lists upon upgrade. >Of course, any code I write (and which you find useful) will go right back >upstream! Thank you. However, it won't go in 2.1.x, because that's bug fix only and it probably won't be applicable, at least directly, to MM 3. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
