If we catch inappropriate messages almost immediately, it should just be a case of stopping mhonarc from running and deleting the messages from the mbox file. If they've been there are while (and renumbering messages will be a problem), then we'll need to hack the file to blank out the undesirable message body I guess. That's the bit I describe as 'error prone' :-) Regarding access, I guess you never needed access in the past (or people like me were just being too dense to realise you did) so it never got raised. I have no objection FWIW. --=20 Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
