I can agree with that. I am intending to filter mail coming in to our
users, with a workaround that can be implemented for specific users (the
policy being that its gets our filter rules or none at all - the problems
of trying to filter differently for n,000 users are certainly beyond me).
Also the technical fixes need to be carefully worked out - for example
(and I am being rather mean using this as an example), one of the rules
used by FirstBase looks like if you sent them a message containing their
filter file (say if you were asking questions about a specific part of
it), they would never actually get that message since it would be
filtered....
