I noticed on qmailadmin, when a person, checks the 'spam' box to do
filtering, it installs the script in .qmail that says:
|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A 'Content-Filter: maildrop-
toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter
Maildrop basically scans the mail as it is coming in, and if it is spam,
drops a 'spam' email in the spam folder.
I also noticed, that when the 'spam' box is not checked, that it scans
the email anyway, and tags spam (could this be from qmail-spamd?). So,
in this instance, it seems the system is using more resources than it
needs, i.e. if spamassassin is going to scan it anyway, it seems like
it would be more efficient to not have it scanned through maildrop or
not run qmail-spamd and let maildrop scan it, global scanning may be
more efficient than pipelining (maildrop).
Can anyone confirm/deny this observation, and/or is there anyone with
any insight on this?
