A filter *can* modify a control file.
But the courierfilter sees the TEMPORARY control file. And that brings up the following question: is this temporary control file a copy of the longer-lived one, or does the longer-lived control file come into existence via a rename of this temporary control file? In other words, is this temporary control file only good for read-only information, or if I modify this temporary control file within a courierfilter step, will the subsequent message-processing steps see these control-file changes? >> So, what significant difference is there between marking all >> recipients as delivered plus resubmitting the message *in a delivery >> instruction* (e.g. in a maildrop script) and just modifying the >> message *in a delivery instruction* (e.g. in a maildrop script)? > > Maildrop cannot modify the control file.
