You are correct, however, what you missed was this was set in a custom policy bank. Hopefully only clients that are in the internal network (or authenticated roaming users) will be directed to that policy bank. What this means is that only these (supposed) legitimate senders will be notified when their mail is spam. Hopefully clients on the Internet will pass through the default policy bank where the general settings in amavisd.conf will be used, e.g.: $final_spam_destiny => D_DISCARD; or $final_spam_destiny => D_PASS; Custom policy banks are used to override settings like this for particular senders/clients. -- Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
