This means that you Pine will connect to an IMAP server in localhost which will then query the remote IMAP server.

i tried checking for the possibility to have spam filtering with the following configuration:
remote mail server, accessed using 'pine', via an imap server.
- thus, i cannot install a spam-filter on the remote server. - the local procmail is never activated, and thus seems to be un-useable here. - i can't use fetchmail - this is imap, not pop3. - couldn't find a way, in pine's configuration, on how to set up a filter that passes the message via an external program. - searching for a solution using google, as well as reading spamassassin's documentation, just shows solutions that assume you can set spamassassin to run via procmail. this does not seem to work for my setup.
is there any solution, _WITHOUT_ replacing the mail client, and without reverting to pop3?
IIRC, fetchmail supports IMAP, so use fetchmail+procmail and then either use the downloaded mail locally, or use IMAP to upload the mail back to the server.
this setup defeats the purpose of using imap in the first place - to be able to see all messages _without_ downloading the messages themselves.
i'm beginning to think i'm asking for the imposible - to filter the letter, i need to first download it. however, i should be able to filter out by the message headers that _are_ downloaded by imap, thus eliminating a large part of the spam, and only then downloading the rest of it for further inspection...
oh, well. no spam solution for me...
