i have written an cgi-application. 
now users can download the quarantined file, if they get 
an s/key ( one time password ) from us.

best regards

Basically when a message gets quarantined right now, it sends me (as the administrator) a message telling me that.  And if I deem the message OK, I will release it by executing sendmail within it's quarantined folder.  However, I need some solution to make this available for the actual recipient to do.  I may not always be at the office, or have access to my mail, or the mail server where stuff is being held.

Now, David said authorizing messages through email (via an X-Header flag) is a bad idea because mail can be easily spoofed.  I agree with this.  So what other solutions are there, short from coding some type of (web?) interface that would allow said recipient to discard/authorize or whatever?
