Multiple local configurations

["Russell P. Sutherland" <ru...@quist.ca>]

Is it possible to use the spamc/spamd pair
by invoking spamc with a per instance refernence
to a list of customized local.cf files?

I would like to have different rules on a per
destination domain basis. Is this possible?

No, local.cf level files are parsed only at the start of spamd. By the time 
spamc is called, it's too late.

You have 2 options:

1) run 2 spamds, each with different listening ports specified with -p, and 
different --siteconfigpath's. Select which one you use by what you pass to 
-p on the spamc command line.

         Advantage: easy, and still allows per-user customization.
         Drawback: doesn't scale well, wastes memory

2) if you don't have per-user customization, you could create 2 user 
accounts and pass the appropriate username to spamc -u. You'd also need 
"allow_user_rules 1" in your local.cf, which is not a risk if no untrusted 
users have local accounts that can log in.
