Subject: Re: [qmailadmin] dotqmail and spamassassin
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.
I'm simply trying to have less overhead as possibile, because the mail passes on antivirus and spamassassin. The medium time to delivery in mailbox is 1 second, and 1,1 second will be a problem. In your behavior the MTA will start procmail that will start spamc then maildir (that is a shell script starting safecat). My idea is to remove also maildir and to use directly safecat.
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/
Good, thanks :-)
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?)
yes, the script that start safecat "$1"/tmp "$1"/new
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.
I'll try some tests to check times using procmail.
Anyway, thank you for your time.

Valerio
