Yes, right now our virus software also scans for spam(and does a very good job--
RAV antivirus), but it won't allow me to set it up so all the spam mail gets
moved to a specific account if it is spam. It simply adds a subject(possible
spam) and delivers the email. I set up a procmail on all the accounts move all
mail with "possible spam" in the subject to my junkfilter account. The next
version of RAV will support moving the spam directly.

I understand. If I need to alter it a bit, that's not a problem. When I get
the newer RAV(or do some stuff with global qmail files) I won't need it either.

Only added that because my old changes to the forward file wouldn't work.
Before using VFS(I think anyway), I could just write the .qmail file directly--
even if it existed. It would just replace the file. Now I get an error if the
file already exists. A simple delete, then write works fine.
thanks for the input on the vacation module--probably the most liked part of my
production install by my users.
