Sorry for my newbie ignorance but I haven't found an answer in the
documentation.  Two questions:

 

1)  What's the recommended way to make changes to an existing filter or
action file while maintaining forward compatibility with future package
upgrades that may change that file?

 

For example:

-- Suppose I want to add additional regex's to filter.d/postfix.conf.  Do I
create a postfix.local?

-- Or, suppose I want to add an unban email to action.d/sendmail-whois.conf.
Do I create a sendmail-whois.local?

 

 

 

2)  When creating my own, new filter for an application that doesn't yet
have a filter in filter.d, is it customary to name it myfilter.conf or
myfilter.local?

 

Thanks much,

 

Michael
