Since you're passing it off to spamc, I really highly doubt that the extra overhead of passing it to procmail or some shell script is even 1% of the time it takes to deliver mail. You'd get the same additional overhead in delivering mail if SpamAssassin released another 10 rules to check. If your servers can handle the load of passing it to spamc, waiting 2.6 seconds for all the DNS queries, complex hashes, and fancy regular expressions to be computed, then I'd be very impressed if they couldn't handle the 0.01 seconds it takes to load up a shell-script and run "tr" twice. Additionally, the ideas there I think you can still use. For example, you could make --enable-spam-command look something like this, too: |spamc -u "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | maildir /.../vpop/domains/$USER/$EXT/Maildir/ And then those envariables would get properly handled every time. The only downside is that people can send email to, for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and this maildir program (part of safecat, I presume?) will complain because you only have a user directory, not a USER directory (same for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). That's why I suggested using tr. You can actually do that inline, by replacing the $EXT part with `echo $EXT | tr A-Z a-z` in your .qmail file. > My idea was to set spam-command using a template and then let > qmailadmin write the correct spam-command in .qmail files. > But I'm not a C programmer, so I don't know how to write a text > substitution function. What do you think about this? Personally? I think if you're running spamc, the tiny amount of extra overhead to parse the environment variables properly is going to be inconsequential. But since you're dead-set to change qmailAdmin to do it, it's obviously possible. I just think it's completely unnecessary. ~Kyle -- Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
