"reports" tidy-up?

[David Lee]

Julian:  An observation and suggestion for background 'idle process'
tidying as you continue to recover.

The various "reports" files have a variety of different types of
signature.  I suspect that these differences are the result of 'creep'
rather than design.

Amongst the variety:

# --
# Postmaster
# %org-long-name%
# %web-site%
#
# For all your IT requirements visit: http://www.transtec.co.uk


# --
# MailScanner
# Email Virus Scanner
# %org-long-name%
# %web-site%
#
# For all your IT requirements visit: http://www.transtec.co.uk


# --
# MailScanner
# Email Virus Scanner
# %org-long-name%
# %web-site%


(And that's just a quick scan through just the English-language ones.)

Could you consider not only rationalising all these, but also making
eveything fully substitutable?

For instance:
1. "Postmaster", "MailScanner" might use the "Local Postmaster" setting
   from 'MailScanner.conf' (many sites might want a properly specified
   email address there);
2. "Email Virus Scanner" probably either shouldn't be there, or should
   have a consistent "%MS-product%" substitutable setting.
3. "For all your IT ..." should be consistently present, but in
   substitutable form, such as "%MS-advert%".

(And then, of course, someone might further suggest variation by
rulesets...)

Just a thought for background pondering and (I hope) improvement.

Best wishes.
