a few suggestions / vmailmgr server wide?

Hi,

First, thanks a lot for your nice and well documented project! I hope it
will continue to grow and have success :)


I'm currently testing it, and I'm planning to use it on a server-wide
basis later. Some ideas / questions:


1) when somebody (human) answers to the ASK-confirmation mail, he should
get some feedback from ASK, like "ok, you've been added to my whitelist
and all your mails (+list) have been delivered".   (could be based on
user configuration in .askrc)   I saw it was on the SF tracker: I just
think it's an "urgent" issue :)


2) language of the confirmation message could be selected automatically
using language detection tools like 
http://odur.let.rug.nl/~vannoord/TextCat/


3) if I send 3 mails to somebody "ask-protected" and I'm not on his
whitelist, I will get 3 confirmation requests (same sender, same
recipient):

  8 Feb 04 John  Please confirm (conf#223fa130c65fd54ddfa1a468a4fafd57)
  9 Feb 04 John  Please confirm (conf#c7d3b43a220e988a2e53accfff862cb7)
 10 Feb 04 John  Please confirm (conf#054597a23e55d44b1ad9b151c491ff8d)

Don't you think only one would be enough? For example there could be a
setting: maximal frequency of confirmation request: max 1 per hour, 1
per day or one per week...  (like good mailresponders works). 

The confirmation request could then display a list of all pending mails.


4) is there anyone here using ASK on a server-wide basis with
qmail+vmailmgr ?  (the "--home" option of ask.py is quite practical,
thx!)


Thanks & regards from Switzerland,
Olivier
