Well... the machine doesn't look up its own IP in the DNSBL, so you wouldn't expect to see BLOCK2 set when you are, yourself, listed. > Probably the env var is not available to courierfilters, or > pythonfilter is not forwarding it to my environment, I don't know, That's correct. Courierfilters can not read or modify the environment of the SMTP process, since they aren't children. couriertcpd looks up the connecting IP address in DNS lists given on its command line, then executes courieresmtpd, which then executes submit. Submit connects to the filters via unix sockets. > but the Courier docs for esmtpd.BLACKLIST state that: > > # The BLOCK environment variable is automatically enforced by > submit. # Nobody really does anything about BLOCK2, this is mainly > for use by # plug-in mail filters.

I'm not as familiar with maildrop's embedded mode, but I believe that is what is referred to in that paragraph. Sam, do you think you could reword that bit of documentation to be more explicit about which filtering method you mean? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
