Re: SpamAssassin quarantine

[Tony Shadwick]

I guess that the recover script isn't going to get run that often, perhaps
calling procmail externally wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Not sure.  The script that's going to get the most heavy use is
quarantine-spam, parse-spam will only run 1-3 times a day, and
recover-spam only once in a while as a user wants a message back. :\

Still, it bugs me that I can't get Net::SMTP to do what I want.  Makes me
feel inadequate (sorry, watching Futurama in the background).

Anyway, cc:'ing the list.  List, this is Olivier, Olivier, the list. :)

Off to bed with me.
