Not sure about recipient_to, but we thought about this problem a long time and came up with a solution which works with exim. Basically anybody who wants all their spam has to regsiter to say so, we then put them into a database (though a flat file would work to) and then set some headers in the email to ensure that if the spam score is over the trigger, then any recipient that is not in the all_spam list does not get the message delivered. I wrote a web page on how we did it here (ignore the stuff about student address, that is just in because we do not filter student email). http://www.sprocket.lboro.ac.uk/~ron/email/SPAM_filtering_system.htm Ron > Thanks, > Richard -- Ron McKeating Senior IT Services Specialist Internet Services and Software Solutions Loughborough University 01509 222329
