Could you look up their LDAP record when you're about to deliver the mail, so the choice is made in the global script without involving qmail-ldap? The lookup should be cached, or the LDAP connection should be cached, but the basic idea is that you always call the scanning script but it doesn't always use CPU cycles. Implementing this is pretty easy. In our environment we allow users to set up a .procmailrc, and then LDAP will tell qmail-ldap to use procmail for those specific users (as a delivery program). That's also an easy way but then every user that wants spam processing has to set up a .procmailrc. It seems to me that it's more useful to include everyone by default (as above) for anti-spam mail scanning, than to exclude by default. Ted
