I consider the "spam" line quoted above to be awkward. :)

The point back then was to have load balancing.

I'm with Tony here: You already can send a username to spamd. Changes in
rule treatment should be implemented in spamd, using the submitted
username as the key. If spamd can't currently do this, hacking on spamd
instead of exim is the better choice.

You could also write a small "spamd request router" daemon that routes
spamd requests by username.

Anyhow: If anyone submits a patch that adds the above "servers" option
to the "spam" condition, i'll add it. It should completely override the
global spamd_address option when present.

Now thats REALLY horrible :)
