Thanks Kevin,

I just noticed in http://au2.spamassassin.org/full/2.5x/dist/sql/README
that "you must be running spamc/spamd in order for this to work".

I understand that sometimes there are several recipients, however in practice
most often there is one recipient, and I can relate this recipient to
a local user, so per-user stuff was useful for me before I started using
MailScanner (I used spamd and a milter).

I would have preferred not having to learn procmail (I would have to
code the lookup and the headers rewriting) and instead rely on
MailScanner (which maybe could talk to spamd, is this planned? ).
