Patrick, thanks for your reply! In first place I thought about a simple mechanism which I would place in the part where roundcube is retrieving mails form the IMAP server. Then check for the filters and move the emails in the correct folders. That's it. Even though I don't know yet if that is the right way ... Actually I don't know how bad this will be for the performance because roundcube is really fast. Next step could also be to "trust spamassasin headers". The functinality is the same. Imo your suggestion is another plugin because this requires some "special" mailserver settings or rather additional mailserver software. So the amount of users able to use this would be less than having an implementaion directly in the client software - means in roundcube ...
