I am using MailWatch and perhaps this is a MailWatch list question but
if I use the high scoring spam to delete messages, will MailWatch still
show those messages in the Quarantine Report? Reason being that
MailScanner still logs the deleted messages to the mailscanner mysql db
as far as I know... which is where the quarantine report pulls from.

Or would that not happen? Does the sql query in the report know that the
file was deleted and not to display that message in the report?

Thanks!
