I agree with you. I literally never use tmda-pending myself except for when working on it. TMDA is supposed to be a time-saver, and you aren't gaining anything if you spend time browsing your pending queue all the time. However, for new TMDA users this is useful to get their mail flow under control (i.e, mailing lists accounted for, commercial mailings either whitelisted or diverted to an extension address, etc.). Once the user gets through this initial transition period, he should no longer have to spend much time looking at pending. If he does, this indicates a configuration problem. This problem is exacerbated by an irrational fear of "losing" messages. With a properly configured TMDA installation, the only possible messages that could be "lost" in the pending queue are messages from unknown senders, AND which wrote to out of the blue, or replied to something you wrote after your dated address expired, AND refused to confirm their message. Uhm, that's like, a very, very small percentage of messages, and quite an acceptable risk for me if it means I can literally never look at a piece of spam, and save hours of my valuable time each week. Bottom line. Make it as easy as possible for people to reach you, but don't lose sleep over possible "lost" messages. If the matter is important enough, the sender will find a way to contact you. This applies to any communication medium. _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers
