How about the message is held in the usual place (spam folder)... Cleanup is a separate function, perhaps a scheduled job to remove older (30day +) messages from the folder. Declude would intercept a response message and move the referenced message by queue file name either to the spool or to nowhere (deleted).
For security, a one-time hash of somekind would be encoded into the prompt message and would have to be received in the response. Bad control messages would have to prompt somebody in order to catch hack attempts. _M | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 3:58 PM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: DSN:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Blacklist/Whitelist | | | How would the e-mail be handled that is (I'm assuming here) | be held waiting conformation? | | If a valid conformation is received back then obviously the | mail would be delivered.
