The above would be possible with DSPAM. You don't need to go and code your own quarantine agent. DSPAM is open source and any one can look at the code and contribute back such dropping functionality as you need it. So no need to go the alternative quarantine agent path. Since you are anyway willing to code something like that, then why not looking at the current DSPAM quarantine code and extend it so that the desired functionality can be controlled on a per user basis (for example with preferences) and then contribute back that code to the DSPAM community project? > > > I'm amazed by dspam's performance, even after just a few days.
