hi first of all I've to mention that cyrus imap is really a solid and mature piece of software. good work! We have quiet a nice setup using sendmail-mimedefang(libmilter)-cyrus on a linux box working like a charm. In mimedefang I'm doing virus-filtering and spamchecking using spamassassin. From time to time user requests to have individual setting for the spamfilter or even have it completely turned off. As the spamassassin is driven by the libmilter from sendmail during the smtp dialog it can happen the an email is destinated for 2 or more users (either by the sending host or through local aliases or even both). so I can't apply individual spam settings during the smtp stage. Some month ago I code a POC in deliver() in lmtpd.c to connect to spamd (using libspamc) for each individual user (ok you loose the single instance store feature). this seams to work quiet nice. As I'm quiet a coward I didn't used this on our production server yet :-). As users request for such a feature are getting more often I decided to move this to a higher priority in my list. so now it's on top of it, so i have to cope with this. I'm intrested in other peoples opinion before I start doing a production ready implementation.
So my specific questions are: 1. is my approach wide of the mark or are there better, smarter solutions to achieve this? (I've read about people doing this using a deliver wrapper which calls spamassassin and then deliver. but I don't like this kind of "fork and exec orgies") 2. are there other people which did some work on this topic? 3. would other people be interested in such a feature ? regards Romeo Benzoni
