Per-user or per-domain language settings

Hello list:
I have been unsuccessfully trying to get MailScanner (4.84.5-4~precise)
to respect my per-user (or per-domain) language settings. My findings:
1) %report-dir% cannot be overwritten in a local .conf in
/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/
(the value is never used, probably due to QuickPeek)
2) %report-dir% cannot be a ruleset either, so apparently "Reports" can
only have one pre-defined language, AND that language must be set in
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
3) "Language Strings" apparently CAN be a rule set, but apparently only
the default rule works. For instance, the following combination should
lead to reports in Dutch/NL for every @example.tld address, and
German/DE for everybody else:
==== /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf (stock values)
%report-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/reports/en
%rules-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/rules
Language Strings = %report-dir%/languages.conf
[…]
include /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/*
==== /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/local.conf (local overwrites)
# setting has no effect, MailScanner.conf value for report-dir is always
used
%report-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/reports/de
%rules-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/rules
Language Strings = %rules-dir%/languages.rules
====/etc/MailScanner/rules/languages.rules (Dutch for example.tld,
German for the rest)
# separated by tabs or space makes no difference
To: *@example.tld /etc/MailScanner/reports/nl/languages.conf
To: default /etc/MailScanner/reports/de/languages.conf
Changing the language in the "To: default" rule does indeed work as
expected for everybody, but the specific per-domain or per-address rules
do not seem to work.
I have tried all conceivable combinations of the rules file, including
with tabs, spaces, "*@example.tld", "example.tld",
"john.doe at example.tld" etc…: no success, only the default rule is evaluated.
Anybody on this list using MailScanner in a multi-language set-up? I saw
that Baruwa apparently can use that MailScanner setting, perhaps
somebody has experience?
