I'm interested as well, perhaps we could work something out together. I'm thinking about a stage between postfix and MDA (dovecot in my case) as I already have a small script there to handle extensions. Another idea filter that would be used through Sieve. Naturally, discussion about more ambitious solution is welcome. > The biggest problem that I see for someone like me is what to do about > *existing* mailstores.
