How embarrassing, I will ensure our lead developer (me) is flogged for
forgetting to flip the "require ssl" bit on the live settings.  That has
been corrected, and thank you for pointing it out.

I suspect over time there will be.  The jail has the ability to search or

flag or quarantine messages for review, but it's up to them how it's used.
