#3 Retrievable junk mail quarantine
Our current system accepts junk mail and places it in a quarantine queue rather than delivering it so that messages can be released and forwarded to users should the email prove to be a false positive, the emails are kept in the queue for around 30 days then automatically purged from the system.
The Maia Mailguard project seems to have a similar functionality and actually allows users to retrieve falsely categorised emails too, it'd be awesome if something like this could be integrated into the mxHero interface.

Gary, just to let you know, this next week we are releasing mxHero 1.5.0, it will include some kind of really basic quarantine. You will be able to say to mxHero for each domain in the platform that you want to deliver all dropped emails on an specific email address. Example all blocked emails for my domain example.com will be delivered to quarantine@myotherdomain.com in that way I am sure that nothing is lost, them I can check it out and forward if something is over there.
We know this is not really a quarantine but is a first step, and while we are doing this part of our group is doing a real quarantine with a nice web interfaced based in another opensource project.
Well, just to keep you posted!
Thats great! Thanks for keeping me informed.
We already working for this one, we are going to implement a full quarantine system. We hope to have it ready for 1.7.0.RELEASE in July +/-.
When ready any feature will be able to add a quarantine service instead of dropping for example. Also we will add a general rule that can be set inside the web application that when an email is dropped it will be added to a quarantine folder.
Basically end users will be able to enter their quarantine folders and check them out, also domain admins will be able to do the same for the users.
