Thanks. Will double-check on that. Chances also are that I missed something
too or I might as well have to try to switch to these milters as running SA
daemonized doesn't work. I posted my main.cf and my master.cf a bit earlier
in this post if you are interested to take a look.

>if you run SA as milter header_checks are mot involved at all because the

I do not run SA as milter, I run it demonized and my rules do not work
despite the fact that they pass the tests like these (/example/):

postmap -q "Subject: Viagra/" regexp:/etc/postfix/spamdiscard 
DISCARD *Spam*

rule (/example)/ is /^Subject: Viagra/ discard *Spam*

That's an interesting concept. I would say that 250 OK does not really
confirm reception. Even if you request delivery receipt  / read receipt does
not necessarily confirm that a receiver actually read and understood what
was written in that email. Any good lawyer will prove it literally in
seconds and also prove that a person accused is not guilty. This is a sieve
law in my opinion but I will not argue / dispute on it. You have it this way
in Germany and it's not for me to criticize. If your government considers it
right so it is. There are many laws that have "holes" in them to be used to
a culprit's / defendant's advantage. I think this is a very clear example.

The server is not a person. The server may have accepted the message but the
person may have never even seen it. The server (machine) cannot be
substituted for a person. A mail man standing in front of your door receives
a receipt signature from a /live/ person in person and live so to speak.
This is the only evidence accepted. I think that if a delivery receipt was
received from a robot (server), not a live person, it would NOT hold enough
testimony that a live person was involved at all. It would definitely not be
the case in our country and by no means would ever be regarded as the only
truth averment.
