We have just about rewritten MailWatch to suit our specific needs. The 
version we push up to our clients next month is pretty much a total 
rewrite other than the MS Custom Functions and XML-RPC that MailWatch 
ships with.

If you or someone you know has a respectable amount of PHP skill, 
MailWatch can be customized quite a bit. It is certainly worth looking 
into. If not, I understand Defender is quite nice.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
