webmail help

    A lot of work to maintain a g_Deny list, but a rather
trivial script 
to read the drop.lasso file and spit it back
out to a new file with g_Deny CIDR_Block on a line by line
basis.    
Which is one of the reasons that I
wished there was better support for use of the Include
directives in the 
web ui, since then it would make this
sort of changes easier to compartmentalize and adapt into
the setup.

i'd agree with robert. having the ability to have netwin
drop a file in 
/usr/local/surgemail (or windows equivalent) and to be able
to include 
it - either via web interface or manually by editing
surgemail.ini would 
be perfect.

so we'd have a 'personal' g_deny list followed by something
like

include /usr/local/surgemail/g_deny.txt

and, include should be able to include any file. include has
helped 
immensely managing a large apache config.

Or maybe I should just read the latest documentation...

Include meant you couldn't use the web admin anymore.  
g_include 
however, just means the web admin
won't let you view or change the entries in that file.  
Which, combined 
with a little Perl LWP magic and
crontab or some other scheduler for the win32
machines...Should achieve 
the same end.
