One piece of what I had in mind was a gadget to look through the spam folder, and pull out a list of the messages held for a given user. If the user decides they want that message (based on from & subject) then the utility would send it back into the spool for delivery and make an appropriate (and detailed) fp report - perhaps also taking some automated tuning actions.

(The cross - platform part means that messages held on a Postfix box could also be handled this way - with a few under-the-cover tweaks. This would be seamless to the end user and might also work for other platforms if it's done in a clean modular way.)

Other parts of the utility would put a pretty face on global, domain, & user specific settings in Declude (if any). Again, in a modular way - probably switched on and off based on the user that is logged in. Here again, some modular design might make the tool portable to other environments... but that's a secondary concern.

Does that sound like something in line with your thinking?

Anyway it's a non-trivial project, so it's going to take some pushing to move it forward. Strong interest (if it appears) would help.

I am not a programmer by any stretch of the word! Bit I would love to see a
user interface and a domain interface for Declude Junkmail that works from
the KWM menus. I have tossed around this idea before but always get
distracted with other projects. I do not remember who (I could search my
email...) I talked to this past spring, but someone was working on this I
think. I never heard anything more so I never followed up (my own fault).

We host about 150 domains on our Imail server. There are about 5000
mailboxes on it. I spend a couple hours per day tweaking settings answering
Spam related email and tracking down FP's. If I could offload some of this
on the users in a way that would be easy for them, I would love it!

The Auto Whitelist is OK, but we have had several people put [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
then complain they are getting tons of Spam. I did like Scot's interface, as
it was simple and clean but having user remember another password would not
be a good option. And since our KWM sees a lot of use, having the menus
there would be easy for users to find it.
