I'm not arguing anything, and perhaps using sent_source as the (hypothetical) hook name was a bad choice... If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to write to a different source depending on which address is used in the From. You'd either need to make a separate config entry in each account that gets setup (similar to the sendmail that you note) or provide the ability for the user to select the sent box in some other way. In the 'simpler' case where the decision is made based on account used, you've got a chunk of static code making the choice and defaulting as it would now. The hook would simply take the place of the static decision maker. The decision has to be made per message regardless of how it's implemented, so doing it in a hook is a better option, imo. The Hook route would be slightly slower, since there are extra activation records on the stack for the function calls, but it should be negligible. The other advantage to a Hook is that the decision could be made based on more than simply the From:. Maybe other users would prefer to store mail based on who it was sent To...or a combo of From/To? I'm interested in William's thoughts on this. It's not a feature I'd use, but I do think it's a good feature to have. I hope this explains my thinking more clearly. -Ben -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302 GPG Key Id: 8E89F6D2; Key Server: pgp.mit.edu Contact me to arrange for a CAcert assurance meeting.
