Hello,

I found the following patch:

http://da.andaka.org/Doku/imapspamfilter.html

To describe it briefly, it automatically trains the SPAM filter when the user moves messages to a SPAM or HAM folder.

First, what do you think about this in principal?

I see two design issues: 1. The user does not have the chance to use his own preferred settings, as everything is controlled by an environment variable. 2. The server freezes until the SPAM learner has done its job.

Personally, I would solve it by specifying a new column (or more than one) in the user database which includes the SPAM policy. The learning would be done in the background without the server waiting for the process to finish.

I am ready to do the coding, but as I am quite new to Courier, I would like to hear about your opinion.

Sören
