OTmailwatch - was( RE: POSTFIX release from quarantine)

[Steve Freegard]

Hi Martin,

I've been working on it this morning - the good news is that what is written
so far isn't MTA specific as it uses the MIME_Mail pear class to re-send the
mail as an attachement.

It does however rely on having 'Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files =
no' and 'xxx Spam Actions = store ...' for it to work correctly (the
resulting quarantine files are then stored as message/rfc822 files).

I've still got a fair amount of work to do to sort out permissions and
polish off the UI, but there will be something workable for the 0.3 release.

Kind regards,,
Steve.

Sam

that's what we are working on for the next point release of mailwatch. I
think the first system will be sendmail only (easier to do), but we
could look at postfix/exim to see just how trivial it is to do.

Steve can we add that to the todo list, at least the investigation part
for for postfix and exim to the 0.3 release?
