I am new and I have a few questions/sugestions

First off, this is a nice little setup you all have going here. Growing up in the redhat universe it is nice to see something other than ubuntu being used.
Second, Is there a way to not save all clean eamils? I can go through recent messages and read all the email that has gone through the system. I could see saving the spam for quarantine reasons, but saving clean emails seems like a waste of disk space.
Third, reading through the forums there was a post about auto-adding users. One way I have seen this done is for the spamfilter to attempt to send an email to that address and see if the receiving server allows it. Postfix will isue a 550 on an invalid RCPT TO: address before you start the body, so that could be a quick and easy test to see if the user exists and needs to be created. I think sendmail works the same. Once the account is created a welcome email with a password reset link could be sent out so the user can log in and manage things if they desire. Obviously LDAP or AD tie in would be much easier, but there are some situations where that is not possible.
