[OT] Strip attachment and add link for download

[Julian Field]

Sounds like you need the quarantine management system one of my  
colleagues has written. Whenever it gets attachments that have been  
removed by MailScanner, the Attachment-Warning.txt gets a link in it  
which submits a request to the system to go and fetch the attachments  
from the appropriate mail server (it's designed to work with multiple  
MailScanners). We then require that a sysadmin looks at the request  
and, if appropriate, releases the attachments to the recipients by  
mailing them a link to a directory on the web server containing their  
attachments.

You could always bypass the bit requiring the sysadmin to look at it.

Saves a lot of mailstore space.

Drop him a line at apl at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Andy Landells).
