Yes, the message goes through cleanup (and hits the disk) just once,
in the post-proxy SMTP server. The pre-proxy server just passes the
message content to the filter via IPC. There is (as yet) no virtual
rewriting in the SMTP server, and no cleanup before the proxy.
The cleanup daemon does not speak SMTP, it writes message content into
the incoming queue, and the proxy is *pre-queue*. The flow is
(notation: <process> or |queue|)
<smtpd> -> <proxy> -> <smtpd> -> <cleanup> -> |incoming|
NOT:
<smtpd> -> <proxy> -> <smtpd> -> |incoming|
|^ |^
v| v|
<cleanup> <cleanup>
