This depends on the email system you are using. On some systems
(MDaemon, and postfix, for example) X- headers from SNF can be emitted
into the message. When we see these we can identify the rules directly
without asking for the extra research.

It would be nice if Declude would offer a mechanism to pick up the
optional .xhdr file SNF can generate and include it in the X headers
that it already adds to the message.

I know this begs the question, why not have SNF add the headers for
SmarterMail and IMail platforms, and the reason is that it would
require writing an additional copy of the message to disk. Since these
systems tend to be io bound already (Declude/IMail anyhow) the
performance penalty would be prohibitive. If Declude picks up .xhdr
from SNF directly then it can be included in the ONE rewrite Declude
makes anyway.

I've asked them about this and other improved integration
opportunities for a while now (many months), and I get favorable
responses, but no action so far. I guess we will see :-)
