Re: [Assp-test] Block Report Tweaks

 A customer wants the block reports to run hourly due to the time 
 sensitive nature of some of the emails. 

Oh... you're referring to THAT kind of customer; I see, those which
feel lost if they don't receive their daily shot of junk email and
which don't even understand how the email works nor that email is a
best effort system which does NOT guarantee that a given message will
be delivered in time ... I see... well, just make a note of the email
address(es) which need to receive such important junk and then add
them to the spamlovers

On my secondary MTA, I don't send block reports to the user at all.

You may want to consider that.

Not at all.

This is a small business that manufactures batteries and deals with many 
international companies. Often those companies are on the end of dodgy 
IP blocks in China, Russia or South America.

The emails are time sensitive because suppliers change stock levels and 
prices rapidly and customers will go elsewhere if they don't hear back 
very promptly.

I deal with a few companies that deal in this manner (nut importers, 
engineering companies that deal with nuclear facilities and mining 
operations etc) and I completely understand why they would want this.

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. If someone requests a 
blocked mail to be resent, it would be great if that request was 
recorded and that email no longer shows up in block reports.

All the Best,
Colin.
