Hmm.. this is all getting rather complicated for little me. Thanks very much for all your help but I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll probably have to use a commercial product.
Well, do whatever works for you. But it has been my experience that while some of this stuff can be difficult to setup, once you get it working you'll have a far better understanding of how it works, and you'll be much more qualified to maintain it.
As my colleague always says "Linux is only free if your time has no value"
That's a pretty loaded statement. I strongly disagree, but will refrain from engaging it on this list.
- and I've already spent 3 evenings trying to get the various parts to work properly and now I find it can't even filter mail into folders. <sigh>
Getting filtering working with the patches I described is trivial. And you can bypass them if are ok with manually configuring .qmail files for any user that wants filtering. I only use the patches because I want to use qmailadmin with the spam detection scheme.
maildrop is pretty powerful, and well documented. My recommendation is to hold out on a commercial product, and read more docs.
