[OT] Strip attachment and add link for download

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).
