Hi all ,

Maybe a nice feature is to apply a filter to a message *before* alias expansion... for example .. : with spamassassin/clamav/amavis .. if I got an alias that delivers to 5 different addresses .. maybe it's better to filter just one time .. not 5 using maildrop when it reads the maildroprc file ...

Sorry if this is already implemented .. but I didn't found any docs about this (and sorry .. didn't searched too much)

I think that the conditional functions (the ones you only use in the IF statement) proposed by cour@asfast.net shold be in maildrop because in a tyipical filter these are evaluated each time a message is delivered.

Define "typical filter". To me a typical filter means: depending on the message's contents, deliver to this folder, or that folder. Or, perhaps, discard the message; or maybe forward it.

These things can be accomplished entirely by the existing facilities in maildrop. When you start doing things like checking if an external file exists, creating or removing directories, I think you're getting beyond what a typical mail filter does.
