I like the quarantine system in 2.0, and I think you can make it even better .
If "quarantine" is engaged, all messages over the " Spam identification threshold" get quarantined, even if they score higher than the Spam auto-delete threshold. Auto-delete should not go to quarantine. When reviewing quarantine you want to see the marginal cases. Also messes up the HAM/SPAM collection. Maybe if you added a column to display SPAM score, then the high-scorers could be deleted from the quarantine before taking your samples for the SPAM folder (used to build better text classifiers).
As it is, it's easier to re-direct to a client and forward or delete from there. Problem is, forwarding interferes with the message header (and user concerns about IT opening their email). And if you want to use re-directed mail to build HAM/SPAM sample sets, you have to re-convert it to SMTP format (a bit of a hassle when you consider 1000 SPAM and 250 HAM to build a good set for processing).
How about it?
