Hello all,
Great job you guys!! Ever since I test use it, I love it, and been using it ever since.
I was just wondering if you guru can add one more action button to the menu of "Posting Held for Approval"? This selection button is called "Ban/Spammers" The reason of doing is because I've been setting up my postmaster email to go through mailman. It traps most of the email in there for me to decide whether to defer, approve, reject, or discard it later whenever I have time to skim through the subject line. I don't want to choose reject because they (evil spammers) will know someone actually read it which server their purpose of spamming already. So most of the time, I choose discard but that does not stop mailman from recieving more mail from the same user@host address. So I thought it would be nice if mailman has a "ban" button where it add the user@host to the ban list so that next time when it recieves it again, it just automatically delete it for me. Perhaps the implementation of this should keep the ban list in a file??? so that in the far future, someone will write an interface for sendmail to read off it as part of its secondary blacklist besides the international one. Once every month, I will manually review this file to see which @host appears the most so that I can then manually decide whether or not to completely add it to the deny list in sendmail. What do you guys think about this? Thanx.

I have plans after 2.1alpha3 to hook up the admindb pages to the new sender-centric moderation variables. The idea is that you could sort the held messages by sender, and then on the sender-held page do a mass discard as well as add the user (via a "Ban" button) to automatically add that address to the auto-discard list.

It's an interesting idea, but I doubt I'll implement this. It wouldn't be hard to do though, if someone wants to work out and contribute such code.
