hi eric when the email arrives in the spam box its headers contained the "delivered to" email id in the header so my script will know where to which email id the message is to be delivered. so my concern about bcc is resolved.
my second question is as such which would be better Simply move the email from the "centralized spambox" to the inbox of that email id Or use the qmail-queue program to reroute the message back to the queue for delivery. i don't want the email time stamps changed during this process. thanks rajesh > Rajesh M wrote: >>> Rajesh M wrote: >>>> hi >>>> >>>> the current system is such that all the emails that are spam (ie >>>> between >>>> 5 >>>> and 8) get tagged as spam in subject line and are are routed to the >>>> SPAM >>>> folder which can be viewed via squirrelmail >>>> >>>> my questions >>>> >>>> 1) is it possible to route these to a common mailbox which will be >>>> monitored by a system admin >>>> >>>> 2) if the mail is genuine spam then the it is left as it is >>>> >>>> 3) if the email has been wrongly classified then the administrator >>>> will >>>> move the email to another folder say notspam and then it will be >>>> delivered >>>> to the recepient's inbox >>>> >>>> rajesh >>>> >>>> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Anything's possible. ;) >>> >>> This could be done I suppose.
