No, I know what I'm asking here. There's no confusion. I played with it and found out that if rcptfilter returns 0 (or rcptfilter doesn't exist), the message is effectively whitelisted and the global filter is bypassed, unless the global filter socket is in allfilters instead of filters. So my question is, for an alias account in a hosteddomain, is .mailfilters/rcptfilter processed and the return code honored so that a message can be submitted for inspection by the global filter? If I'm wrong about the whitelisting issue, or if there are other facets to the issue, please say so. When I was learning about courier, I couldn't get courierperlfilter to work _unless_ I had a .mailfilters/rcptfilter that returned an exit code of 99. I've got a test domain here and a stock of captive email viruses that I can farble around with and probably answer my own question. Thought maybe I could get a quick answer. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | | _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
