Probably yes. For 2.6.0 I concentrated mainly on providing an underlying
mechanism to generate reports on mail being processes, and to allow
releasing from a quarantine as attachments or as a report. It was needed
to automate our fraud reporting to yahoo (implemented as 'custom hooks'),
and works nicely.

It turned out that some combinations of these new features are also useful
for other purposes (like the 'amavisd-report' (pseudo)utility) and was
whipped up with little additional effort. Refinement is left for some
future version, when needs and usage patterns become more articulated.
