The use of pre-queue filtering would solve another problem I've been working on: What to do with mail from (user)blacklisted senders. I plan on upgrading Debians stable Postfix to the current stable version of 2.10 so I may benefit from postscreen, and that will probably be a good time to install amavisd-new as a pre-queue filter. Thank you for the help once again.
