Hmm. Since we are not running IMAP, but pop right now, that shake things up
at all?
Secondly, im using MailWatch and was trying to see if I could tie that in
so I could view it through the web interface.
Lastly, the other thing I need to figure out is, once we store the mail,
take a look at it and decide it's ok to be sent, how do I "release" it
without any extra headers or stuff being added to the mail so it appears
that it came from the original user, and the mail was not tampered with...
Have some work cut out for me it seems.
Thanks,
Jason
