ok. please stop discussing now. as pointed out, postfix works in enviroments where more than one instance (amavisd, etc) is called to process mail on the same host. There is no way that such tags could be integrated in such setups, because that protocol would be a way to directly access the sheduler so it works only for very specific use cases. Amavisd & Co forward via SMTP, the protocol you are dreaming of - nobody is implementing it - would require direct API calls outside of SMTP. > Andre greetings, Stefan
