Some ideas for TMDA 1.2: (Is the Wiki a free-for-all for suggested
features - should I add these myself, or should only "approved" ideas go
there?)

1)

Maildir format was suggested for the pending queue already. I'd like to
extend this to have categories inside the pending queue (map to
Maildir/Maildir++ folders) so that I can say:

from ... hold=bad_sender
headers ... hold=bad_attachments

where "bad_sender" and "bad_attachments" become Maildir folder names.

There could be a default "confirm" folder for where confirmation requests
had been sent (or perhaps just use the root of the Maildir/INBOX)

2)

Quarantining message support in the pending queue. Something like:

headers ... quarantine=bad_attachments

This would be just like hold, but I'm (the recipient) notified that the
incoming mail exists, so *I* can release it if I want.

This would be useful to allow myself to recieve .zip attachments - at
present I just hold them all (due to their being a worm transport), but
perhaps someone mails me a .zip of family photos - I have to go grovel in
the pending queue if I'm expecting this. With "quarantine=" I'd get
notified when this email arrives and have the option to send email to
release it, but I still wouldn't see the nasty .zips/etc. in my actual
mailer unless I took explicit action to do so.

Perhaps quarantine should forward the original message with attachments
stripped, but hold the complete original?

This is *perhaps* getting outside the realm of TMDA, but it would be nice
to integrate this kind of thing into one place...

3)

Enhanced list database support - i.e. SELECT before INSERT when appending
to database lists, so we don't re-insert the same thing, or support for
people to write stored procedures for the insert/query etc. (Not sure if
MySQL even supports this (which is what I use) - I haven't looked...)

Personally, I decided not to use Turba (Horde's address book, with DB
storage) as my primary address book, but to keep using my PC-based mailer
as my primary mail tool and webmail as a simple remote access tool, so
this isn't a big deal for me - just a suggestion.
