Hi ;)

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
The documentation about the filtering in courier is... well...
not very clear about some points:

- how can I set up a mail filter that drops or modifies mails
  that have MS-virus-like attachments (vbs, exe, ...) - we had some
  examples on the mailing-list but it's not included in the
  examples nor in the documentation of Courier, and it's definately
  one of the most frequent uses of filtering (IMHO)

- where can I put a maildrop filter configuration file so that
  it is used by courier for *all* accounts ? (not ~/.mailfilter)
  /etc/courier/maildroprc ?

I've set up such a filter from an example seen on this list:

if ( /^[:space:]+filename=.*\.vbs\"$/:b || \
     /^[:space:]+filename=.*\.exe\"$/:b || \
     /^[:space:]+filename=.*\.com\"$/:b || \
     /^[:space:]+filename=.*\.pif\"$/:b || \
     /^[:space:]+filename=.*\.scr\"$/:b || \
     /^[:space:]+filename=.*\.bat\"$/:b )
     {
           xfilter "/usr/local/courier/bin/reformail -A'X-Antispam: Possible Virus'"
           /^Subject: !.*/
           xfilter "/usr/local/courier/bin/reformail -I'Subject: [CAUTION: POSSIBLE 
VIRUS] $MATCH2'"
  }

I've tried to use several locations, but none of them work:
(with /etc/courier being a symlink to /usr/local/courier/etc)

/etc/courier/maildroprc 
~user/.mailfilter

Here's some additional configuration info on the mail server:

/etc/courier/enablefiltering:
esmtp

/etc/courier/maildrop:
/usr/local/courier/bin/maildrop

/etc/courier/maildropfilter:
/usr/local/courier/bin/maildrop

Did I forgot something ?

Thanks for your help...

Oh, BTW, there's another really frequently asked question which is not in
the documentation (I think so): is there any way to avoid having the "LOGIN"
and "LOGOUT" imapd messages in the logs ? Maybe without having to recompile
Courier ?
