Jeremy, thanks for your answer. I have to admit that I never used pfilter and I was too lazy to read a lot of documentation and to find out how to adapt it to our case, thinking also that we do not need it. By the way, the mailing list archive doesn't work any more - I wanted to see if there are other reactions.
