[ZendTo] 24 hour drop-off summary

[Jules]

Everton,

You are quite correct. Drop-offs that have been created and then deleted 
before they have been seen by any overnight run will be missing. ZendTo 
carefully deletes pretty much all record of drop-offs that have gone, so 
you haven't got any continuously growing database tables or anything 
like that. So yes, it will miss them.

I wrote the overnight-summary feature for 1 specific site with a very 
particular use case. Once written, it is far easier for everyone if that 
feature is available to all, so there is only 1 release stream.

Personally I would strongly advise against using that feature at all. It 
is very likely to wind you up in deep trouble with your nearest privacy 
lawyers, when members of your organisation discover that you are 
routinely getting this information sent to you. This kind of monitoring 
is very illegal in a large proportion of countries.

Cheers,
Jules.
