You can't do this with TMDA, currently. You're trying to use more
than one action ('accept' and 'deliver=&[EMAIL PROTECTED]') and neither
the filter parser nor the action processing code understands that yet.

For many other reasons you should upgrade to the latest (0.84), but
unfortunately, that won't fix this particular problem.

Processing of dot-qmail files is based on the return code of the
previous command. If the program returns 99, qmail considers that
successful but stops processing the dot-qmail file. If the program
returns 0, that is also success and qmail *does* continue processing.
(man qmail-command(8).)

It will, in certain cases....

tmda-filter returns 99 (see above) when you specify an explicit
delivery; that is, when you use the accept, deliver or ok actions (all
are equivalent) followed by an equal sign and a destination. If you
simply say 'accept' or 'deliver' or 'ok', without specifying a
destination, tmda-filter *won't* deliver the mail anywhere but *will*
exit with a 0 return code so that further lines in your dot-qmail
file(s) will be processed. For your example:
~/.tmda/filters/incoming:
from-file -optional -autocdb ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist accept
~/.qmail-bla:
| preline /usr/local/tmda/bin/tmda-filter
./Maildir/ # or whatever your inbox is called
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Once we have multiple actions in place, this won't be so complicated.
That's my problem and, unfortunately, I'm busy with real work right
now. I hope to get this coded in the next couple of weeks. We're
aiming to have the multiple action support before release 1.0.
