This may not be so easy to do, because ASK would need to intercept every
outgoing mail and do some trickery. While this may be easy for unix/command
line application users (like me), it may be very hard for those using
programs that connect directly to the smtp port to send their emails.

I've considered a few options, like using an "SMTP proxy", but, in the end,
it would require considerable effort to do right. I'm not saying it's not
worth it, it just takes time. :) It would be quite possible to do it with
little effort if you're using Exim, using Exim's scripting abilities. I
haven't tested, though.

This item is in the wishlist. :)

Regards,
Paga
