The filter definition files are not executed so couldn't use my workaround. Finally figured out how to make HOME work. However, when Defaults.py is called it first uses ~ to find the crypt key file before it reads tmdarc. So I have come up with the following at the front of tmdarc: os.environ['HOME'] = os.environ['HOMEDIR'] HOMEDIR = os.environ['HOMEDIR'] And then I have added the HOMEDIR envronmental variable which is set before calling tmda-filter. The standard default definitions for the file names can be used. Now everything through delivery works (whitelisted addresses). Still have to try the response to a challenge yet. NIS is a simple, low overhead tool that works quite well for us. This tmda will eventually be at the end of the mail processing line which includes clamav and dspam (I doubt anyone will actually use both dspam and tmda). _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
