We are still in the process of moving our offices so development efforts have been paused based on a recent comment that this issue was not urgent.
However, primary engineering decisions have been completed for this update and it is the next project in line.
Barring unforeseen events I will begin coding this today. In theory it should not take long to complete the work since "hooks" for this mechanism were stubbed into the peer-server code when it was designed.
We will implement the change by allowing the filename to be overloaded as a switch/code. We will also use this mechanism for other options in the future.
The command line will look something like this:
snfrv2r2.exe authenticationxx persistent
-- normally the file to be scanned would go where the word "persistent" is. When the file to be scanned is "persistent" then the instance goes in to a persistent server mode.
-- A later option will be "stdio" which will place the program in a mode to accept the message on stdin and produce a modified version on stdout - thus allowing it to be piped in front of spamc and other similar programs.
-- A later option will be "communigate" which will place the program in a mode to act as an external filter using communigate pro's filter protocols.
The details of these options will probably change slightly from the above description and each will be handled in it's own 2-x release process. Additional filtering mechanisms will also be implemented during these releases such as "blinder" rules, fuzzy rules, network learning, etc...
I will be sure to keep the list up to date on this work and as soon as I have a solid beta I will ask for beta testers. Once we have completely finished our move we will be able to move forward more quickly with development efforts.
Thanks! _M

That's very interesting... I didn't know that MDaemon was limited in this
way.
We are planning to make an update that will allow a sniffer instance to run
in a script with long wait times so that it can be set up to do this.
We are also planning to help integrate sniffer with MDaemon directly - I've
been told we will begin working on that this month.
Hope this helps, _M
