Good to hear it's working... I guess there just weren't any "good" 
messages being delivered while you were testing "filter-level"?

By the way, setting the "filter-level" option in the global config file 
is not really what I had in mind when I created that flag.  Since it 
overrides all other flags, including blacklists, it was really intended 
for use in configuration directories.  Specifically, some of my users 
have become tired of repeatedly asking me to whitelist their 
correspondents.  Several have asked me to just turn off spam filtering 
for their accounts.  With configuration directories, I can create a file 
for their address that includes the command "filter-level=allow-all" 
(they typically begin to see the wisdom of filtering after a few days).  
Without that command, their file would have to explicitly disable all 
enabled filters and would be a pain to create/maintain.

By the same token, I wanted to provide an easy way for administrators to 
require authentication for senders/recipients within specific domains.  
That is now very easy to accomplish using a configuration directory and 
"filter-level=require-auth".
