Hi again Michael,
Well I've now been through your tips and I believe it is working. Just
waiting on some external spam to test :-)
I've run my own tests through it from internally, and the spam gets sent to
my maildrop only, no other mailbox which is excellent.
It appears that when I first did this this afternoon, I must'nt have run
mimedefang reread as after putting in some logging and running that, it
worked.
Thanks again for all your help, (and same thanks to you Rob)
Pete
