Subject:Re: [courier-users] Spamassasin, maildropfilter, and courier-mta integrationActions...

Yeah, I understand what's going on.. but I'm thinking there isn't a good way around it unless the architecture of courier somehow changes. In that case, I'll settle for running it twice.

Yeah - there have been a few people after something like this... it makes a lot of things easier - like your current problem, tagging outbound mail with a footer, defanging mime attachments, etc.

Hrrm. Part of my rationale for doing this is that filters for a particular user are based on that users's spamassassin prefs, as well as looking at that users's spamassassin bayesian filtering databases.

I don't see a good way to do that with a global maildroprc.

The idea here is to provide the end-user with complete control over what gets rejected or not, and per-user whitelists, etc. And since whether a message gets rejected or not is per-user, it will cause spammers sending to a bunch of addressess on my server a bunch of grief with various users rejecting the message.

Hopefully there aren't any land-mines lurking in this idea I haven't thought of ;)

SpamAssassin can run user prefs from a database. Then, there is no need for per user files - at least not for me, so I'd still like to know if you can think of a way to call your rcpt filter from a global place...

All my user preferences - including whitelists, and so on are done this way - only easy way to keep things in sync with our systems - thanks.

Ahh, which leads into my next trick.. get this all running securely and safely on a scalable, distributed filesystem such as AFS. (yes, there are some patches that need to be made, particularly to maildrop)

I *think* you can call the rcptfilter from a global place.. there may be some obscure maildrop options/files I haven't looked at.

FYI, after getting this system set up and running on my home server, and upgrading to spamassasin 2.6, my spam load seems to have gone way down.

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
