[SA-exim] Can spamd process per-user user_prefs?

[Mark Zbikowski]

Knowing is half the battle.

Well in this case, I guess it's the entire battle.

Thanks Marc!

It's an FAQ and in a word, no.
SA-Exim can receive a message on behalf of 5 or 10 users at the same
time, and can't 
apply multiple preferences without playing tricks like temporarily
rejecting all the users except a few with the same config, and wait for
the mail to come back for the other users, and keep going.

It's kind of messy to implement for many different reasons and not super
reliable in some cases, so no one has implemented this yet, and I'm not
sure anyone will (that said, I've been wrong before)

Hope this helps.
