Quarantine messages with SA and access with web-frontend?

["Postmaster (Patrick von der Hagen)" <pm...@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>]

Hi all,

I hope to replace a proprietary antispam-appliace with SA but have one
annoying requirement: the current one keeps spam in a quarantine which
users can access with http. Using that web-frontend they can retrieve
quarantined messages.

Do you know of any software (preferably open-source) which I could use
to achive this requirement?

A possible alternative: while spamassassin is running and will be
running on a unix-server, the delivery should be done to an
exchange-server. If I had an Exchange-extension to assign the SCL based
on SA or to move messages marked by SA to special folders, I could offer
an alternative. However, most exchange-extensions "just" run
spamassassin, which I don't need and don't want at all, since the
SA-headers are already present.

Last possibility: if I had some kind of gui to support users in creating
their outlook-filters to filter based on SA-headers, that solution might
be accepted. Perhaps there is an outlook-plugin or something?


I know that I won't receive an award for "most on-topic-posting ever",
sorry about that. Please consider answering off-list.

MailScanner + MailWatch.

From where are those headers?  It's not clear form your description, since you
say you are going to replace the antispam appliance.

SpamAware (plugin for Outlook that includes SA).  They also have a product
called Exchange Server Toolbox, I have no experience with it but it may be close
to what you are looking for.
