For about 3+ years I've had the same mail setup. Postfix delivered to a mbox file and I both check my mail on the server itself with mutt, and retrieve my mail from the server via secure POP. I'm using SpamAssassin which works well for me so far.
The downside is that: - I have to manage my spam at the server and can't drop spam messages in a folder from my desktop mail client. - Sorting mail with procmail means POP doesn't pull it off the server. - I'm not really set up for multiple accounts and my wife has been getting a lot of junk mail lately. So I want to start from scratch and am looking for advice. I'm thinking I'll use Postfix, Cyrus IMAP with some sort of secure tunnel, and SpamAssassin. The only change here is IMAP and I'm thinking that will fix the general issue of having subfolders for spam, filtering, etc, and allow me to have both my server mail checking (mutt) and home mail checking be in sync. While I'm doing this I'll fix things so my wife can have SpamAssassin filter her mail. Currently, I keep a mbox file that I move my mail to if it is spam, and a cron job running nightly that runs 'sa-learn' on it for SpamAssassin. I'm guessing I can do the same with IMAP and just have a folder for spam that gets processed nightly. Is there anything I'm missing or anything I'm not thinking about correctly?
