My patch allows me to keep the spam-filtering policy seperated from any
user-defined filtering rules. I want to give my users a single-click option
for choosing between "File junk into the Junk folder", "Flag Junk" and
"Don't do anything". With my patch, I just have to change the "sieve"
annotation for the user's inbox - otherwise, I'd have to parse his sieve
script and modify the include - with the risk of somehow messing up his
script.
Interesting concept. We have from time to time encountered folks that
have blown away the filtering to JunkMail, to only later complain
about the junk in their inbox. Sigh. Seems like this would offer some
nice flexibility. True, technically redundant, but flexible.
