I think this is quite complicated, don't you think? I guess one way to fix default preferences should be enough, as at the end, after some time, you might forget how things work if you want to change something (it happened to me with DSPAM some time ago, and thought they had to bet set in dspam.conf...) I simplified this by removing default.prefs. It should at least be better documented in README which lacks the kind of details you have given in your first answer. It should answer the following questions: - how default preferences are set - how user's preferences are set - in which priorities are the preferences applied ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dspam-devel mailing list Dspam-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspam-devel
