Coupla noodlings I wanted to toss out for review, comment
and possible implementation....
1) "Group User/Owner" facility
I have a number of SG "user" accounts, created
according to various needs and preferences.
Somer of 'em are general 'buckets' for weeding out
krud and chaff from pearls and/or maintaining a
'disposable' email acct. Others are for special purpose
use (associated with a specific sender or as a filter for
a specific "real" e-mail id that has been burned but is
too widely known by valid senders to easily discard.)
It struck me that it'd be rather useful if I was able to
group all my SG user ids under a single 'master' login.
Then -- a la the "My Groups" login page for yahoo -- I
could easily log in once to then access each individual
id I have as desired.
2) Add'l "eaten msg" info: subject text
I spawned a discussion a while back on the
notion of increasing the number of 'eaten msgs'
logged above the current limit of three.
Apparently, there are technical reasons why that
number cannot be hiked. So be it.
More recently though, it struck me that having the
msg subject, as well as the putative sender's email
addr, shown in the "eaten" log could be helpful in
fine-tuning the whitelists setting for an SG user account.
Eg: I have an SG account used for sending out family
reunion announcements and news, and receiving
email back from the relatives involved. Burned big time
in the past by an account harvest on some family
members' machines that weren't protected and were
turned into zombie boxes -- hence I am now using the
SG account as a filter, with all valid _known_ family
members email addrs in the whitelist.
But, some members do from time to time change to
different ISPs (for $ benefits, due to a move, etc.)
and it'd be handy to have addl data in the eaten log
so I can sort out krud from valid family member msgs.
Other uses come to mind but that should suffice as
an example of what and why for this notion.
Comments?
Responses?
Questions?
Thanx again (and again and again...) for a wonderful,
darned near utterly vital product/service!!
