Hi Everyone,

I am thinking about working on Feature Request 000023 - Daily quarantine summary emails - and I am wondering what kind of information you would like to see included in the emails?

Subject, From, Date, Spam-Rate, "Show" and a "Don't Quarantine" link... That is
what Freemailer like GMX do from time to time...

Since I have limited programming experience, this would probably start out as a cron job, but it would be neat if we could set this up as a dspam user preference.

I use procmail and logrotate (which runs in a cronjob, too) to do that job... it rotates my procmail-logfile. The only thing, i miss, is a "Quarantine" or "Don't Quarantine" link in this setup.

I would like to see the date of the Quarantine Reminder (once per reminder is fine). A list of emails with Spam Rating, From, and Subject in table format, and a link to Quarantine. The link would have to be definable obviously. Including the DSpam logo would be nice. A definable reminder subject would also be nice.

I wouldn't suggest listing each message in the reminders as some people fail to purge their quarantine and there could literally be thousands of emails to list in the reminder email, thus creating a large email and wasted CPU cycles if you have many users with large quarantines. I would just list the quarantined messages for that given day.

Glad to see someone working on the Feature Requests!!

So something like a table listing the date, subject, sender, probability and status? Jeff Harris has a good point - what if someone hasn't cleaned their box and there are 4,000+ messages lying around? Or was your point that it would be a bad idea to see the text of each message? Either way, I agree with you (though Zeppelin still sucks).

I think a simple email saying "You have x amount of messages in your quarantine box, x of which have arrived since yesterday." might suffice. We just need something to remind users to clean their damn inboxes!

This gives me something to work with and I'll get started today, as time permits...

I have a question, though - since I am a noob programmer, I'm sure that this list is going to criticize my work quite heavily. Would it make sense to setup a CVS or SVN or whatever for my work, so that these criticizers can contribute as well?
