Re: [CSCMail-Users] problem with date [feature request]

[Psy <ps...@on...>]

Hey,

Just a suggestion I had to keep the e-mail in order. We could have another
option when ordering the e-mail that would be "Date of Arrival". This would
solve the problem when why ISP's Endymion MailMan Mail Express mess up with the
timezones, or when a person sending us an e-mail that do not have the current
time correctly configured in his machine.
If it isn't too much to ask, it would also be very useful to have a "Bounce"
capability when we receive SPAM, what is very common nowadays :P
Just an idea :)

Egon.
