Howdy,

Over the last two weeks of so, I've done quite a few more updates to clrghouz - mostly on the back of errors that I saw as some folks started to use it (thanks) as well takling some of the "to do"s I had put down to do later.

I've added outbound polling - so now mail received can be sent out CRASH, Scheduled (twice daily) or held for collection. You'll be able to select your mode of operation in the web ui for now, and when I write an areafix there too.

Most of the improvements have been done on the back end (for the hub admin), but I've now got clrghouz sending some netmails when it sees problems. For example, if you use an incorrect packet password, you should get a netmail back letting you know (and that your last packet wasnt processed), as well when you are put on "auto hold" because polling your system is failing (after 5 attempts over 2ish days).

I've implemented more tracking of packets sent/received (which is now shown in the web ui) - which was a pre-requisite to enable you to resend packets if you need (this piece I need to implement). I also need to implement RESCAN, but I can do it manually if somebody wants some old messages resent.

I also have 1 more feature that I need to implement (echoarea security, with corresponding netmails back to you when you attempt to post to an area that you are not subscribed, or dont have permission). One network that I host for has a "hub only area" - so I need to implement that before I start to move all my hosting over to it.

If anybody else wants to play with clrghouz, your welcome to have a go and let me know if you find something not quite right, or not as expected.
