The /etc/courier/enablefiltering file exists with the 'esmtp' value by default (as described in the courierfilter man page). That's a good thought though...I'm beginning to wonder if my install had a hiccup and I'm missing a piece that should have been done for me by default.

I took another look at the 'courierfilter' command and 'filterctl' while confirming my above statement, but those look like they only apply to global filters, eh?

So you think my 'rcptfilter' syntax looks ok? and it's just a matter of getting the embedded mode maildrop enabled?

thanks,
