Not sure if you know this, but sqwebmail already has the ability to create filters. > > Would it be possible to hack some code from courier into qmailadmin to > manage the maildrop filters? Sure, but I don't think that's a good place for the code. I think a PHP script would be much more appropriate for general filter creation. I'm surprised no-one has created one yet. But, the problem is that you've got to have a way to make sure that the filters are letting mail through. Either that, or you've got to create your filters in a way that is foolproof (like, making sure the folder actually exists before allowing the user to make a filter that drops mail there. Or, making sure a defunct filter rule is deleted when the user deletes a folder in their webmail client.) With that in mind, it makes a lot of sense to put this functionality in the webmail client. (But note that sqwebmail does NOT currently delete a filter if it's corresponding folder is deleted.) > > R. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
