Summary mail of held messages

Hi!

Is there a way to create a summary mail of all messages in
the "Held"  
folder and send that out each day to the users?

If not, would it be possible to script this somehow (i.e. is
info  
like this available through some sort of command line
interface)?

Thanks!


Best regards,
Richard Taubo

All customers have a Logs page where they can choose the 
depth of logs they desire.  Here at our place, 99% of customers use Outlook 
Express and have only "include friends system pending message list" 
selected.  Most customers will get totally frustrated if other logs get 
pushed in their face. ; And logs are turned Off for customers using 
webmail.


 


For the customers using Outlook Express or 3rd party mail 
client, the format of the Logs Reports is in /surgemail/status.eml - which can 
have a plain text and a html part. ;  


The command https://YourDomain.com:7443/cgi/user.cgi?lcmd=user_load_pending will 
send the person to the Login page, then after login will take them directly to 
the Friends Pending folder. Kewl... but this URL gets discombooberated when 
putting it in the status.eml file. ; I've even tried adding =3d to the html 
coding, but it's still not working, so we take the people to a www.domain.com/user_load_pending.htm 
page which does a meta refresh to the correct URL.  This 
works.


 


If a customer is using a mail client, probably the best 
thing to do is to direct them to Webmail, where they can puruse the Pending 
folder and the Held folder, etc.


 


We are basically against Webmail here, because an Email 
server is a transaction server, not a &*#% permanent file storage 
area.



For 12 years, we preferred the customers use Outlook 
Express (whatever...) so that the emails are moved off the server onto their 
computers.  Likewise, we prefer POP3 vs IMAP. ; 



Somewhere in Surgemail is a setting to only accept 
IMAP connections if the IP matches... i.e. 127.0.0.1) but I haven't had the time 
to look into that.


Our staff here all feel that if the customer uses Webmail, 
there's less support needed... but there's also the file storage 
liability.  We previously tried to get all the customers to use Outlook 
Express... however recently we're switching attitude towards encouraging the 
customers to use SurgePlus - which might end up fixing all the other issues at 
the expense of a few 500-gig hard drives.  If the operating system supports 
compression, i.e. a W2K3 drive formatted with compression enabled on the drive 
that has the /mbox directory, then the liability can be minimized.  This 
would also work in a Cluster environment.


 


Hey guys, let's discuss the pro's and con's of 
SurgePlus.
