[Mimedefang] Managing Quarantined Messages

[Paul Murphy]

Tim,

See http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2004-April/021784.html
for an existing solution which uses defined internal and external smarthosts (or
end-nodes) to mail to directly, thereby bypassing filtering.

Best Wishes,

Paul.
