Hi Mouss, Thanks for you answer.

Well, SMTP or LMTP, it's a instance to only receive local mails.

Sure. That's why I had to use another SMTP to pick the DSPAM result. But I don't know yet how to do it with procmail (or similar), and that's what I'm asking. > > All that said, the VDA patch isn't supported here. so you're on your own. I know that, but I think it's unrelated to the real question. Let's just suppose I want to do it without those patches. > > An latenrative based on a policy service has been proposed on the list > (I'm really sorry, but I forgot who posted this.

I did some searches and as far as I could see, none of the alternatives (that I've found) could reject the message in SMTP. I think it's nice to not generate bouncing messages/backscatter. But if someone have an alternative besides that, it's always welcome. Once more, thanks for your suggestions. ;) Mauro
