Look at how the Recipients array is defined during filter_recipient: "[A]fter calling read_commands_file within filter_recipient, the current recipient under consideration is in the final position of the array, at $Recipients[-1], while any previous (and accepted) recipients are at the beginning of the array, that is, in @Recipients[0 .. $#Recipients-1]." At the array lists only accepted recipients, one can easily reject or tempfail any future recipient that has a different spam policy than the first recipient (and only the first need be checked, since one checked for differences with the other elements as the array was built -- one recipient at a time). _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
