<div dir="ltr">Oh? I had seen Dovecot in a couple of how-to's but found more that listed courier. (I used to run a homogeneous courier MTA system back in the day... was trying out postfix. Might like to try Dovecot for fun. <br><br>My system is a home development playground, where I am the only admin and user of the e-mail system. What I am doing is learning how a virtual multi domain system could work, and seeing what can be managed in MySQL as a lesson to myself in what use MySQL is over flat files in user home directories. So I am pretty flexible and can burn the whole thing down at will to try something different. Once I have something that seems stable, workable, and such, I'll build my own how-to on what I did and move on. :-D<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the advice! </div><div><br></div><div>Nick<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:38 PM, Marc Stürmer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mail@marc-stuermer.de" target="_blank">mail@marc-stuermer.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<div dir="ltr">I went through a number of Howto's to get a postfix/courier-imap/amavisd/clamav/spamassassin/SQL set up so I could use virtual domains and users. Learned a lot. My last bit to ferrit out is how I might use spamassasin to gather it's preferences in the heiarchial way that they suggest on the Howto with MySQL.

<div>From what I gather, having SA run from Amavis, certain options in the <a href="http://local.cf" target="_blank">local.cf</a> file are ignored in favor of how Amavis executes and handles spam. </div>

</span><p>Well if you want to give your users those nuts and bolts to adjust, this is the way to go, right. Some webmailers also include modules for those settings, e.h. Horde and Roundcube AFAIK.<br>
<br>
<br>
Personally I don't give my users those options because in my experience they will sooner or later break the sane defaults into something worse and will by crying then loudly for support.<br>
<br>
If they want to play with their mail, they can use SIEVE instead.<br>
<br>
BTW, if you are still running Courier, you could consider switching over to Dovecot. There's nothing in Courier which Dovecot cannot do and more, and Dovecot is by far the superior IMAP-package compared to Cyrus and Courier.</p>
