Hmmmm.... ok, but then why in contrib/dot-tmda/filters/incoming is there
the following:

#####################
# default disposition
#####################

# Mail that didn't match one of the rules above will be challenged.

from * confirm


Is this no longer valid?  If so, that should probably be fixed in the
tarball.

Ok, so if I remove "from * confirm", then the filters will get run and
if there are no matches to any filters, ACTION_INCOMING will be used as
the "default disposition", which should be 'confirm' anyways, correct?

I'll give that a try.  Thanks.
