Andy,

You can download some skeleton example code that sends specified users a
list of the spam they have in quarantine from:

        wget http://www.fsl.com/support/QuarantineReport.tar.gz

I will show you how to setup links that view and release the messages from
quarantine.

Beware - it was designed for internal web use only and should not be used on
a webserver that is open to the outside world.

Hope this helps,

Steve
