Dear All, A suggestion for a drake.....Procmail. I know there is a system wide thing with the latest webmin but...
Given that Mandrake can be used as both client & server & with the new VNC thing it can approximate to say citrix or similar the problem a friend of mine has who is looking at Linux & IMAP as an exchange replacement is around the mail filtering as most users like to have rules & with IMAP this is a problem. Possibly both as a web thing (such that any user with a browser could use it) & as a proper drake. It is a hole in the current set up as you are not about to teach a normal user how to write procmail rules. It must be simple even if that means losing some of the capabilities of procmail. Look at the MS Outlook & Outlook express rules thing. i.e. set of tick boxes for the filter "if it comes from this address", "if it contains this subject" etc.etc. & a set of actions "move to this mailbox", "delete", "forward to this address" etc. Possibly a simple "out of the office" thing? You could also have an automated antispam downloadable systemwide rule set which is run before the local user ones e.g looking for: "Anti-SPAM Policy Disclaimer: Under Bill s.1618 Title III passed by the 105th U. S. Congress" etc. This could be packaged as an rpm & available via urpmi. Adam
