Well it looks like you're correct, no bug.
I've tried it out on my spare home [very mini] network and I get the 
behaviour you describe.
I don't see that it should make any difference when things are scaled up a 
little bit, so I guess it's going to work fine ;)

I checked this out in the first place of course- god knows how I could have 
got it wrong :(
Thanks for your pointing that out.

Yep that's just what I'm doing in my 'two spools' version at the minute.
Nice feature, I couldn't do anything like this without it.

That should be covered by the ' *://*/*' but that's part of my standard 
install anyway and it shouldn't do any harm.

BTW there's a slight typo in the FAQ.
It says  http://localhost:8080/index
will suppress the index, which doesn't work of course.

Also 'del-dontget' and 'del-dontcache' are described as defaulting to 'no' 
but the install wwwoffle.conf then sets them to 'yes' - could be logically 
correct but a tad confusing?

And why does my Eudora spell check try to replace "WWOFFLE-Users" with 
"Whorehouses".
And who put "Whorehouses" in a general purpose dictionary for an email 
client anyway.
