I'm throwing this out here because if I ever get to this, it will probably be a long time and difficult to support as a for-sale application. It would be absolutely killer though, and it would dramatically reduce the need for administrators to do monitoring. It also would remind the customer of how much spam we are blocking, and give them some control without messing up our Declude setup with endless customizations.
I'd gladly pay for something that worked.

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.
