hi mike

apart of the discussion before, which i think is now cleared, i really
enjoy your planned modifications.

a sideword to alberto:
we certainly enjoy collaborations with other developers in order to
bring forth the project and benefit from each other. but keep in mind,
that we have to do many other things and need to organize our time very
strictly.

as stated on our website, we will answer "from time to time", otherwise
we end in helping people on the lists and cannot bring forth
development. keep in mind that before we can help and respond here we
first need to set up the same test environment and try to reproduce the
issue. this really takes time and *we* really cannot do this all the time.

as stated on the website *this* is one of the topics where we really
require help, since *confirmed* and annotated bugreports are easier and
faster to handle for us.



in order to prevent double work and point out topics where we could
cooperate, here my comments:

maybe it could interest you, that we planned for a while now, to create
a simple script with gui integration, which automatically downloads the
update tar.gz package and installs it. but, since now we had other items
on our todo, which were more important. maybe someone could write this :)

great!!!
during integration of your logwatch modification, i run into the same
problem. i wrote a sloppy wordwrap-function, which prevents this
problem, but it is only a workaround. your solution would be way better!
and i really would appreciate it's integration :)

as far as i know, they already have imap support, it needs only
integration within our restartscript and gui.
i don't really know how p3scan implements it, but i think it will only
scan each download, like with pop3.

it would be great, to have a solution, which *moves* spam/virus mails to
a special imap folder, which the imap scanner then does not scan
anymore. otherwise one and the same spam/virus mail will be scanned on
each connect.

attention, this actually works if you enable "client ip address
forwarding" in "upstream proxy" within http proxy.

this in fact is a usability problem. probably it would be solved if
client ip address forwarding will be automatically enabled if the
contentfilter will be enabled.



btw: after a couple days of headaches the next release finally uses
gettext for i18n. then we finally can provide a way simplier and
standardized possibility to translate the gui to other languages and
hope to the outcome of a translation team. of course, this requires an
open subversion repository. we are working on it...
