Temporary Denied/Infected Page Bypass Secret Key

Bypass functionality uses a hashed secret key to provide security.

With reporting level 3 and the HTML template, maximum security is provided by using a different hashed secret key each time. This behavior of choosing a fresh key every time is specified by omitting this option (or specifying it as the empty string).

With reporting level values other than 3 and CGI programs that must generate the bypass URL, such randomization won't work. So it's possible rather than generating a random key each time to explicitly specify one key to be used every time. It must be more than 8 chars, for example
bypasskey = 'Mary had a little lamb.' or bypasskey = '76b42abc1cd0fdcaf6e943dcbc93b826'.

The same functionality is provided for pages that are virus infected (rather than denied because of content) by the configuration option infectedbypasskey, with the same possible settings.
