hi, the chroot build succeded (with the -ldl hack), it works like charm. The filtering is okay, and the helper script is doing what is should do, after my customization to make it fit into the current environment. The setup is to filter msg-s with spamdrop,then maildrop delivers it either to the inbox or to the junk mail folder.
Now it's about to teach it... Am i rigth if i think, that a message which has been filtered, can be used for learning (TOE)? What's the purpose of the message hash in the headers added by spamdrop? Is it used to locate the original copy (as spamdrop saw the message) from the queue dir and to analyze that instead of the possibly differend one which finally landed in the user's mailbox? best, Peter
