Re: [Declude.JunkMail] User Interface

[Matthew Bramble]

Well, you can't always have it all :) Using IMail's Web server would seem like the most global choice, however I have not come across information about it supporting anything besides their own special tags and it doesn't seem like a friendly environment to work in.  Does anyone know if this supports some sort of CGI besides the built in tags?  Designing with IIS though would be a breeze, but not everyone hosts on the same box they do E-mail on, and gaining access to the files would require manual intervention to setup (and a network).  Putting another Web server on the box seems like overkill maybe and won't allow the same degree of flexibility for most, however this might be the most universal approach. I wonder what the majority calling is for.  I'm guessing that most host on the same box as their Web server, and most use IIS.  I suppose that it should be designed in IIS to be as independent as possible from that environment and then ported to a stand-alone Web server if popular enough.  That's something that I would ask my programmer about how best to do.  I don't know how the guy does it, but he literally knows everything and has worked in virtually every environment with every language.  He also makes everyone around him look lazy :) John, I see that you have done some of this stuff, as well as many others.  I'm wondering why with all the interest, it hasn't yet been done?  Also, if Scott is going to do this himself, I'm wondering if there is any estimate as to when it might become available.  I'd hate to spend any time doing this for him to then come out with a solution.  It looks like a daunting task if you try to allow for every possible configuration from global to domain to user.  Maybe it would be better just to write a Hello World script instead and watch some TV with my spare time...

I can see that there have been a good deal of other folks designing interfaces from a search of the archives, however most seem somewhat proprietary to their needs and I would like to see something that was more flexible and probably cover other things like Declude Virus as well. Personally, it's my view that my end users generally have no clue about spam control, or even that is enabled on their accounts, and giving them configuration capabilities would confuse them, or at least something beyond giving them three levels of scoring and the option to turn it off. I would want to see something with per-domain and global settings (depending on your version), and maybe extend the product by creating something like digest notification for instance. Does anyone think that there's enough interest in developing such a thing(s) for someone to make some money from a reasonably priced add-on? I've got a programmer that could handle this stuff in his sleep :) Please chime in. Matt Jeff Kratka wrote: There was talk awhile ago about some people creating a web user interface for Declude.
