 Hello Nicholas,

just a suggestion for improvement:
I think it would be helpful if the user had the option to get mail only when changes were detected.
Especially when running the scanner as a cron job, this would avoid "false alarms"
For the moment, that quick'n dirty hack in engines/finalization/email.php#53 works for me:
if( !($item->files_suspicious + $item->files_modified + $item->files_new) )

return true;


Best regards,
Jürgen.

Hello Jürgen,

There is a reason I want to always send emails and use mail filters to flag emails listing changes for further inspection. The idea is: how do I know if the PHP File Change Scanner really didn't find any problems or it is simply not running because of a server configuration error if in both cases I receive no email?
