Yes, *now* I understand it too, but then, the blockreport isn't your option :) > They were previously with Postini which they found to be rubbish, but > they could log into a control panel and see/resend any blocked emails > whenever they wanted. > > This leads me to another feature suggestion.

No need for that; configure ASSP to only "tag" emails instead of straight blocking them (ok, you may setup exceptions so that surefire junk will be rejected); then setup the "custom header" option in ASSP to something your backend mailserver will recognize (configure it to do so) and use the mailserver rules to move such tagged messages to the "junkmail" folder, this way your users will be able to "recover" those messages and will avoid delays and "false positives" Now, since we're at it, let me say one thing; a whole lot of companies from Russia, China and other "not exactly spamclean" countries had the very same problem and the "serious" ones solved it by using mailservices offered by some $BIGNAME which offered good reputation (along with strict no-spam policies), so, while I understand your point and (I hope) offered you a way to deal with it, there's nothing ASSP can do with that, curing the *effects* won't help at all, the only real way to deal with such stuff is curing the *causes* and, email blocking is a GOOD way to make people aware about the fact that they (or their ISP/ESP/Country has *PROBLEMS*) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list Assp-test@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test
