hi,
i suggested to change the filtering in that way, that the filter would be executed in the last step (if mail will be dropped into local mailbox or will be redirected to _external_ account (to avoid that the filter would be executed 2 or more times). davide wrote: >I could describe my logic as "optimize for 99% of cases avoiding >to bloat >the source code to make happy the remaining 1%". Again, guess >who's the >only one that noticed it. why should that bloat the code? i think you just have to add the filter code at another place? > 90% of XMail's users does not use filters. would not be affected. >Of the remaining 10%, 95% of users use filtering with a >simple .tab ( >common filter for everyoone, like av, antispam, etc.. ). would not be affected. >Of the remaining 5%, 98% uses filters with a domain granularity. would not be affected, the filter would be improved, cause there must be no filter.tab for aliasdomains! >Of the remaining 2%, 99% uses filters with account granularity >and is >happy with that. would not be affected, but would have a better filtering because aliases would be filtered, too. >The remaining 1% ( basically you ) uses filters with account >resolution, >with accounts with 2000 aliases. i think, a postmaster@* aliases is not very uncommonly. So, i see no disadvantages, if you change the code like that. You wrote, that you maybe would add an filter command to mailproc, i think that would be unnecessarly, wouldn't it? None of the XMail users would be infected by such a change, but the filtering would be improved highly. if i have a filter on my pop3 account and some aliases for that - why shouldn't the aliases be filtered with the same filter, too? the same for domains and aliasdomains. please tell me why this would be an disadvantage to xmail. (if its really bloats the code (i dont understand c/c++ as well as you), then it's ok, but then a filter-mproc command would be nice :-)). ps: as i said a little time before, i dont want to nerv you, xmail ist great, i just want to help to improve it in the details. greets soenke. -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Listar -- -- Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature -- File: smime.p7s - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
