Re: [webmin-l] Support for quarantine queue in sendmail 8.13.x

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Fred,

I have heard of this new feature and have incorporated some premliminary
support for the quarantine queue in Webmin 1.200 - you can now see
quarantined messages.

In future releases I will add a flush button for the quarantined
messages too .. and perhaps some other functions that anyone can
suggest?
