Hi,
What is needed to get quarantine reports?
I have set the option to hide high spam
I've executed the quarantine_report.php from cli as root, but it doesn't show any error nor do I see any activity in logs sending a mail.
The system is not using ldap or something like that.

Do you have users defined in MailWatch and are they set to receive the reports?

I created users by using their emailaddress also for full name, set to receive quarantine reports (for test I set a universal recipient spambox@mydomain)
When I start the quarantine_report.php it runs showing 0 quarantined messages for each user.
And there is at least a dozen of them quarantined.
Where could I look for further steps?

Okay, so I was modding around in quarantine_report.php and found something which I didn't expect...
When you make a user in Mailwatch, you can enter an alternative recipient for the Quarantine Reports.
Quarantine Report Recipient:... I made this one to be my spambox@mydomain.
Because as for now, I want to monitor these daily reports of spam.
But in fact, it is using spambox as a filter, so it will never find spam.
Deleted the Quarantine Report Recipient, and now it finds spam.
So I altered the script to send all reports to my spambox for this moment just to monitor for a while and document the howto's for my users.
EDIT: Stupid me... Ofcourse spambox needs to be a mailwatch user as well.
Trying again
