Re: mail filtering question

Hello Csillag,

I use Maildrop as a replacement for Postfix's 'virtual' local delivery 
agent to support server-side filtering.

There is a plugin for Squirrel Mail called 'serversidefilter' that 
provides users with a simple web-based interface to maintain a per-user 
rules file. Additionally there is a global rules file.

This combo works well for me.

Unfortunately the Debian package didnt have support for both MySQL and 
quota enforcement compiled in, and so I needed to compile my own. You 
might be able to use the Debian package though, depending if you need these.

If you want to follow this up then my mail server notes might be helpful:

hope this helps,
Andy
