Hmmm confused, surely the line
defer condition=${if def:header_X-Spam-Score:{yes}{no}}
means if the spam header is defined then defer. Whereas what I am
finding is the opposite. If I stop spamd then I get a defer and when I
start it again all works well. Which is what I want of course but I
would have thought the condition above would work the opposite way
round. My copy of Phil's book is at home I will have a look at it
tonight. If anybody meantime has any idea as to exactly in which way I
am being Mr Dim, please let me know.
