This is false. Amavisd-new has been highly optimized. > I suppose I could move to > that, but that still does not address the need to get policyd to let pass all > mail for that domain. Postfix supports restriction-classes. I recommend you avoid taking that route. Use Policyd opt-in + opt-out + Amavisd-new. Amavisd-new's spam-lover supports exactly what u want, the messages will not be passed onto SpamAssassin but instead will just be bypassed. As for spam folder, you'll be looking to use Courier maildrop. Cami ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
