A cron- or fam- driven job would. A patched imap daemon would only invoke external commands when it moves the files itself, if I remember correctly. Webmail operates on files directly, without bothering the imap daemon. >>> Personally, I would solve it by specifying a new column (or more than >>> one) in the user database which includes the SPAM policy.

I still don't understand if users have direct access to the password database.

That's the idea of the above mentioned patch. Webmail would require a similar patch. The resulting scheme may work, but is very rigid because moving files to or from dedicated folders are the only communication. Design changes are likely to require more dedicated folders... Yes, I think it may be confusing for some users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
