Well I am not really here to debate the design of the spam/virus system because it is coming from another department. But it may be a design flaw not to allow a management of of the deliver.db so my initial question stands, is there a way to delete entries out of the deliver.db before they are just purged in the normal (3day in redhat) cycle? > If the user accidentally deletes a message then restoring it from > backups should be no different for a message in the "Junk" folder > vs. one in any other folder, no? Depends, you need to know more of the circumstances and in this case it happened minutes after it was delivered so yeah, backups won't help. > Alternately the quarantine system could simply send a separate unique > notification message to the user and then only deliver the quarantined > message if the user requests it somehow. I really don't like that idea > for many reasons though. The message is untouched by the quarantine, so to munge a new message id would be the wrong way to approach this IMHO. -- --- Derek T.
