Hi Gordon Messmer,

So someone wanting to use SpamAssassin to bounce mail before delivery would have to write a filter (based on perlfilter maybe?) which would call spamc and reject as appropriate?

That's gonna be slow if you have to load up and parse the scripts each time. Why do you guess they came up with spamc in first place?

Spamc is a good idea but you forgot one simple fact. The global filtering API Courier implements requires the filter to be running as a daemon. I bet Gordon suggested a daemon that would "parse the scripts and all" only once, at startup and keep running from this point.

This is the same approach amavisd-new uses and it also doesn't use spamc. In fact, using spamc in such a setup would consume more resources, and not less.
