Some MUAs have a way of graphically editing Sieve filters. Some are capable of feeding mails to sa-learn. That shouldn't be hard, and is about all you really need, surely? I haven't looked into it much because I'm perfectly happy editing filters in a text editor, and because I don't do per-user Bayesian filtering. It's better to reject mail at SMTP time than to accept it and then _later_ decide you don't like it, and be left with the choice of either silently binning it or generating a bounce to a potentially innocent third party. And if you run SA at SMTP time, the message may have multiple recipients at multiple domains, some of which aren't local. So it's hard to do anything per-user, unless you play cunning tricks with giving 4xx deferrals for any second and subsequent user who has different SA settings to the first. Running system-wide SA (and other heuristics and greylisting etc) seems to be perfectly sufficient without anything but the automatically learned Bayesian filtering, so I haven't really looked hard at getting feedback from the MUA to SA. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
