Monique-- Thanks for your honesty.
It allows management of tmda-pending via an e-mail interface. Pending mails are listed, and by changing the symbol that prefixes each mail you can whitelist, blacklist, delete, or release. Since it's an e-mail interface, management can be done remotely without having to log into the machine hosting the pending queue. It's also useful when you don't want to allow login access to the hosting machine, or with users who aren't adept at the CLI. --Brian On Wed, Oct 20, 2004 at 01:21:51PM -0600, Monique Y.
