Actually, no it's not opaque. To use POP, there are actually a few preferences they need to change. Signaturelocation would be one, subject prefix would be another so they can still see what is spam, and, the action has to be configured so they can tag it. This allows them to use their mail program to sort if they wish and still use pop. Of course, the user might not think of all these things, so, we of course have a way the user can simply say use pop3, which sets these for them. Now, the issue is sieve can't know whether or not to apply the script or not. We certainly don't want each user to HAVE to have a script (<5% use one), so, a global script is ideal. We certainly don't want them to be able to turn off the move if they are indeed using IMAP since then that in turn affects the operation of dovecot antispam. So, things rapidly get more complex. If you then say let's make a default script for all users, now the issue is what if they go back to imap, and, have changed their script. Now it's an issue for detecting how to modify the user script. And of course, this is assuming sieve, there is procmail et all as well. All these complications (and there are more, just in the interest of brevity) go away if the header was simply not there. When you have more than a thousands users, this becomes a larger issue. If you have a good solution that addresses all these issues (not just your own), be happy to hear. The one you proposed does not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Malware Security Report: Protecting Your Business, Customers, and the Bottom Line.
