Great, I figured it would be useful enough that there'd no be reason not to implement it at some point. Thanks to the suggestions from others on this list, I don't have any pressing need for it, since I only need to do one of these tests: "After you're done looking through the whitelists and blacklists, if it matches one of these, confirm it, otherwise hold it.") I should say that as I started to warm up on the idea of using a whitelistin spam filter, I considered writing my own very simple filter but then came across TMDA and saw that it easily did everything I wanted and was extremely configurable. So far I'm very impressed with it, though I'm still in the shake-out phase (I'm using it as my primary filter, but I have mail duplicated through my previous spam filter so I can compare output and make sure I'm not doing anything dumb). I have fairly circumstances (several dozen valid recipient email addresses and consequently a tremendously high spam volume -- about 3000 emails a day), but so far it's working flawlessly. >From looking at the commands, two other features occurred to me: - A pipe-headers command, which instead of piping the entire contents of a message, simply pipes the headers. This can be helpful when you want to do header processing with an external program, but don't care about the (sometimes enormous) body. - Along the same lines, lazy body processing. If the body of a message is never needed by any filter rule, it is simply not processed. This is pretty easy to do with the current Python mail classes -- which only use the body if you tell them to -- and is an obvious optimization so it may already be in place.
