I would like to take the opportunity given by a comment in a list message (Is there a function or report to get this?) to voice my opinion for features to be included in the next release of Modus.Since you all have done such a great job on the spam engine I am really not sure that it could be improved all that much.I guess going from Crystal Ball v1 to v2 might be cool.;)We will just have to see what efforts the spammers have in store for us over the next 12 months.Any way, I would like to see the following things considered for the next release of Modus.

 

1. Server statistics reporting.Many of the third party spam filtering services (Postini & Mail Armory) that I am familiar with have all kinds of statistics reporting built in.The info is displayed in tables & graphs in a web interface.I know there have been many instances where folks on these lists have asked about some kind of statistics.I am not sure what all would be involved to make this happen but I think it would be a major step in providing a complete Email server solution.I know we would all love to check a web interface to show how many email messages were received, how many were blocked by the RBLs, how many were delivered to the mailbox, how many were sent to the QT as attach, viri, and spam.I truly hope Vircom gives this some SERIOUS consideration.

 

2. I hope this does not offend anyone at Vircom as that is not my intent.I would like to see a facelift of the console interface as well.

 

3. I would also like to see a major face lift of the web interface. Something more along the look & feel of Yahoo, Hotmail, or Squirrel Mail would be nice.I am sure this will be debated all around.

 

I am sure there are other things that could be added as well.At this time I think the spam engine is doing a great job.I would like to see Vircom focus their efforts on the next round to statistics and look & feel.Those are just my points.
