Where would it send it?
I usually do - reverse lookup of mailserver IP of the mailserver that sent the mail to my mailserver. (Usually the first Received: header.) - whois lookup of the same IP - sometimes the whois database contains abuse contacts. - submit the IP of open relays to ordb. Probably this would need some special arrangement if suddenly all evo users would mass-submit hosts. I usually don't follow the Received: chain. Of course, with forwarded mail and mailing lists it gets more complicated. Probably too complicated to be done automatically. A 'look for List-ID header and fail with informative message' function would probably be necessary to protect list admins from over-eager spam-reporters. (Or, of course, a very cool algorithm that follows the Received: chain and determines which were forwarding hops from mailing lists/aliases and which was the spammer's machine or the open relay.
I think there's alreayd a feature request for this in the bug system (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/) anyway.
23110 Sorry - I hate the bugzilla ui, so I avoid it whenever I can.
Personally I can't see it getting done till we have some extensibility mechanism available.
The mechanism described there sounds fine enough. Toolbar and keyb shortcuts would neet to be configurable, then. (really user configurable. Not 'change that file and be aware that it will be overwritten/may break your system/may drink your beer' configurable) cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg Aah, gpg - still waiting for 1.2 or devel snapshot .debs for woody/sid
