AFAIK maildrop is only used for messages delivered locally. Global filters filter any message, without actually knowing if it is going to be forwarded to another server or not. (Probably one can just check the relayclient enviroment variable to learn if that was the sender's privilege, independently of the actual recipient(s) being local or not.) > The reason for doing so is to implement auto-whitelisting of the 'To:' > addresses in these messages. Another useful test would be to check if the sender address makes sense, in order to prevent undesired pollution. Anyone knows if (which) big ISPs implement such kind of policies? Is it as widespread as INGRES?
