Hi Max,

>> Awesome looking product.

Thanks!

>> Have you ever thought of creating a button next to each message that
would allow you to send the message to the original recipient?

I 'tag' the messages with the '{Spam?}' text prepended to the subject so my
users can filter the messages using a rule in Outlook to move the message to
their own 'Spam' folder, so I hadn't thought of doing this myself.

I'll have a look at doing this for you as I think it would be a useful
feature being able to re-send all types of quarantined files (spam, blocked
files etc.).

Kind regards,
Steve.

Awesome looking product.

Have you ever thought of creating a button next to each message that
would allow you to send the message to the original recipient? I get
this request all the time from my users and was thinking of creating my
own web console to do this. For the time being I have all spam delivered
to a mail account so I can forward to original user if necessary.

Max

Hi All,

I've written a web based front-end to MailScanner using a modified
&SQLLogging routine, PHP, MySQL and JpGraph.

Current features:
 ** Recent messages - displays a highlighted view of the last 50
messages processed by MailScanner and allows you to drill-down for
detailed information on each message.
 ** Reporting - allow you to create filtered HTML reports with graphs
(using JpGraph).
 ** Tools - allows you to view the MailScanner.conf file and associated
rules, displays Sophos information such as version/loaded IDE's

This is the first time I've ever released any code - it's functional -
but not pretty.  It should work well for those people who hate trawling
through /var/log/maillog and want a quick overview of what their mail
gateway is doing, and is also good for when you have a Helpdesk manned
by people you don't want logging into you mail gateway but still need
access to view stuff (as in my case).

It probably won't be any good for the people with high throughput of
messages, as the customised SQLLogging routine logs to the database in
real-time, so might slow your gateway down (although I'd be interested
if someone could benchmark it).

Also if anyone can come up with a better name - please do....
