I looked through the customconfig, and found the section talking about
white/black lists per domain.... which is not what im looking for.

global storage of user preferences.  thats what I need.  Spamassassin
provides it only in thier client server configuration.  I want to continue
to use spamassassin the way that MailScanner wants to.

anyone else out there doing this?.. are you running spamd/spamc?  and so on..



>I am using the CustomConfig to do that, I had it working great on an old
>server until a little hitch with MailScanner maintaining mysql connections
>on the new one...  haven't had time to figure out the issue, but look at
>CustomConfig.pm, I am using it to obtain if the domain should want mail
>scanned, the score, actions, etc...
