Spam notice

[Steve Freegard]

Hi Julian,

>>> Steve -- what do you think?

Yup - I agree and I'd be happy to add this feature into MailWatch.

It would fit in nicely with the work currently underway to allow users to
login to a new greatly simplified 'users' interface allowing them to see
their stats (a bit of MailScanner 'marketing'...), manage their quarantined
spam and a request to the admin to release a blocked attachments.  So it
wouldn't be too difficult to generate a daily e-mail for each user that has
quarantined items, listing them with a link to release them.

Kind regards,
Steve.

Sorry to pass the buck on this one, but would this be better implemented
in 
MailWatch? It's an archiving and log analysis problem, not a mail
scanning 
problem.
