Update - Web Bug File

[Kevin Miller]

For those of us running MailWatch or similar web interface for MailScanner it's a no brainer to put it on that host.  Or any local web server for that matter.  I did that some time ago because you can't count on external servers being around forever...

If you literally mean 'localhost' you can't do that. You have no control over where the mail client reading the 'disarmed' email might be or what its notion of 'localhost' is.

MailScanner also doesn't know what URL will access 1x1spacer.gif on the local machine even if it knows where it put it.

So really the only sensible default might be

Your-MailScanner-CDN = "https://s3.amazonaws.com/mailscanner/images"
Web Bug Replacement = %Your-MailScanner-CDN%/1x1spacer.gif
