Nobody?

I checked the docs/config files some more, but are at a loss as they
don't seem to be too detailed ...

One thing, the Maximum Message Size or Attachment Size could probably be
used to block the messages, but I would require them not just to be
blocked, but also a notification to be sent to an admin account ... (and
of course need an easy [=GUI] way of releasing th message if OK; No, not
for me, but can't require the customer to teach several people on how to
use a Unix shell)

The other option is probably using the custom functions, but again, the
documentation I found is not really that helpful ... also, I'd rather
program something in C than Perl ... ;)

Tnx, -garry
