[Mimedefang] Re: Per-recipient customization

[David Eisner]

First, thanks for all the responses so far. I'm going to Keep It Simple
for now and just use a config file rather than a database.  Our user
base is small enough that we can handle this through requests sent to
the IT staff.

No.  We're using Mercury (yuck) for now.  This may be changing to
Groupwise when we upgrade our server, though.

Thanks!  This is along the lines of what I was thinking.  You might
consider using a hash rather than walk through the @limitspamusers array
for better performance.  Also, this

     for ( $repindex=0 ; $repindex < @Recipients ; $repindex++ )
         ...
         $spamlimit = _check_limit($Recipients[$repindex]);


can be coded

    for $recip (@Recipients)  
or
    foreach $recip (@Recipients)

        ...

    $spamlimit = _check_limit($recip);


And you're right, this is not laughing.  

So far the biggest problem is that the Bat Book and the Camel Book are about the same size and I keep getting frustrated when I can't find anything in the index because I've picked up the wrong one.
