I've been playing with this on and off (mostly off) for a bit. I've 
got pre-acceptance filtering going with amavisd-milter, but I'm still 
unclear exactly which policies/actions are applied.

Using v2.0.7

Supposing a message matches the pre-requisites for policies A, B, and 
D, but not C - and that A, B, C, D are in increasing priority.

If I have an action (eg Greylisting) for each of A, B, and D - 
exactly what values will be used ? I know that anything explicitly 
set in D will be used, but if I set "inherit", is the inherited value 
from A or B ?

If I have an action that matches A and B, but not D, then B is used ?

Since policy C is not matched, nothing I set in it will affect 
processing of this message ?


Lastly, is there logging that clearly shows which policies have been 
matched, and which actions are being applied ? Log level 3 shows each 
match element of each policy and whether it's been matched - but then 
I have to work out how that translates into actions performed. Level 
4 is just too verbose to be useful.
