 If you have postfix with postfixadmin , mysql, spamassassin, maildrop

 in /etc,
 
  
 
 Is there still a way to call a 2^nd maildrop script on a per user basis
 when it makes its way to the virtual folder ?  or is there a way to load
 a specific maildroprc file depending on who the email is destined for ?
 i.e.  if to: includes b...@123.com mailto:b...@123.com call this
 maildroprc script, otherwise use default ?
 
  
 
 Just grasping at straws but maybe something I’m writing will spark an

 Hi,
 
  
 
 I just recently made some changes for one of the users that I have on my
 system.  Their request was a simple change to forward mail to another
 off server account as well as deliver it locally.  I made the changes in
 postfix admin without issue but they are concerned that they are now
 getting ALL of their mail forwarded while locally they are only getting
 the valid mail.  i.e. the forward is being conducted PRE spam checking
 rather than post checking. 
 
  
 
 Does anyone have any suggestions of how to have it only forward mail
 that would have made it to the inbox , thus ignoring mail that was
 tagged as SPAM and deposited in the SPAM folder ?
 
  
 
 Thanks,
 
  
 
  
 
 Dave

with maildrop you can have a first global and then individual filter scripts
but anyway dont let the spam in your system use i. spamass-milter ,
clamav-milter with antispam sanesecurity signatures, that should prevent
most income spam, for the rest i.e filter all tagged mail to users
imap junk folders via global filter script which cant be overided by
user filters easy for forward action, for this job i am using dovecot sieve
mails in the imap junk folder can be made downloadable too with pop3
using the dovecot virtual plugin

Let me add to this question since I've been digging further, and racking my
brain for a simple solution.

 

If you have postfix with postfixadmin , mysql, spamassassin, maildrop
configured and working where it is calling the default maildroprc file in
/etc, 

 

Is there still a way to call a 2nd maildrop script on a per user basis when
it makes its way to the virtual folder ?  or is there a way to load a
specific maildroprc file depending on who the email is destined for ? i.e.
if to: includes b...@123.com call this maildroprc script, otherwise use
default ?

 

Just grasping at straws but maybe something I'm writing will spark an idea
of a solution from the experts out there..
