I don't have that many local users on the system and incoming mail is hardly ever addressed to more than one local user. But I'd expect postfix to figure this out and deliver the mail to each user separately, thus allowing for "per user" mail filtering. > > Have you considered the following setup? > > * fetchmail fetches mail from a remote server, > > * fetchmail passes email to procmail script (see "mda" option) > > * procmail script does AV and AS scans > > * procmail delivers the mail to user's Maildir Yeah, I had this before but was using maildrop instead of procmail. But I suspected performance issues with this setup and decided that I want postfix to call all the filters (AV/AS). > BTW, in my experience getmail is a superior drop-in replacement for > fetchmail and can even use the same MDA script. fetchmail served me well in all those years, but I just read the getmail-FAQ, maybe I should reconsider :-) Thanks to both of you, Christian.
