Wietse,
>If we don't care that Postfix handles mail correctly, why go through >the trouble of setting up an SQL database in the first place? Things do not always come as one-bit on/off issues. E.g. my ISP has an option of delivering a guaranteed 2Mbit ADSL line, but if the capacity falls to 1.98 Mbit it will be taken offline until somebody fixes it. I will be offline for some hours/days/weeks ! The other option is a 2Mbit line with best effort i.e. if capacity falls down to 1.5 Mbit somebody will eventually fix it, but I am still up and running at a slower pace. So it is with the various SPAM-fighting tools. The best thing is to have them operational all the time, but if one fails, it is still a better to have your legitimate mail delivered with some added SPAM, than not having it delivered until somebody fixes the failing component. This is the rationale behind an optional 'dunno if failing' on check_policy_service components. - Jørgen Thomsen - Jørgen Thomsen
