I thought header checks were carried out after all the other smtp

message header at this stage.
Correct, but the OK action applies only to that header, not the
message.
Thanks Wietse, that makes sense now. I think you're saying : Regardless
of whether the first file (white list) matched an OK from List-Id:, the
second file (black list) would still be checked. As the 'OK' only
applied the List-Id: header, if the second header checks file matches a
reject pattern other than List-ID, message will be rejected.
The Postfix 3.2 PASS action applies to the message,
but remains unused when a REJECT pattern is matched earlier.
PASS is something I shall look forward to in the next couple of years.
For now I'm on 3.1.9 (Debian stable).
I don't suppose there's a way to read the status List-Id (possibly
matched and OK'd in the first pass - white list) while reading the From
in the second pass (black list)? I think not, but asking just to rule it
out.
Thanks for your explanation as to how it works.
Best wishes,
Mick.
