Expanding on this idea -- is there any way to do a 'status' message with POP?
E.g. if doing server maintenance have the users download a message from a bastion server saying 'server undergoing maintanance or offline/etc' Problem I believe is the UIDL handling -- if you simply do a fake POP3 server without the UIDL list then it will reset everyone's keep on server list. But I wonder if something could be done where you 'download' the list of unique_id's from dbmail to a holding server and presend the UIDL list + the status message or something. And re: imap -- I think there is a status message that can be displayed. Maybe that could be built into dbmail. /Mark > I have a suggestion for users > that have robots check there mailbox every minute or so. > > Could a "suspend" option be added in dbmail-adduser in a > future release of dbmail. > > We could suspend users that do frequent pop/imap request from > getting there mail but they could still receive there mail until we unsuspend them.
