Ted, use the Imail client on the server, go into the spam mailbox and select the legit message, then click on
transfer.
 
It will prompt you to point the msg to the .mbx file of the intended recipient on your system
 
I had the same prob 3 months ago, this is what Ipswitch support suggested.

Gang --
 
Using IMail 8.03HF1, I'm still trying to get a handle on how to limit the number of false positives.  Out of about 3000 messages a day, I'm getting about 7-10.  Most of them are from commercial operations, however, such as flight confirmations from aa.com, etc., while others are from mailing lists at yahoogroups.com
 
Based upon the recommendations of this group, I've disabled the use of:
 
FIVETEN blackholes.five-ten-sg.com
YBL ybl.megacity.org
 
and I'm using:
 
v6net   spammers.v6net.org
SpamCop    bl.spamcop.net
DSBL  list.dsbl.org
DSBL-Multi   multihop.dsbl.org
DSBL-Unconfirmed   unconfirmed.dsbl.org
ORDB   relays.ordb.org 
MAPS   blackholes.mail-abuse.org
 
I also use:
 
VERIFY MAIL FROM
VERIFY HELO/EHLO
DELETE AFTER 4 MATCHES
 
I'm using these provided by IMail in their default state:
 
antispam-table.txt
url-domain-bl.txt
 
The main problem I'm having with this setup is that anything labelled spam is delivered to a mailbox called spam.  If I find a false positive in the spam mailbox and forward it to the intended recipient, and then that recipient responds to the message, they're actually responding to the "spam" mailbox instead of the original sender.
 
I used to use Declude Junkmail in tandem with Spam Review.  This worked nicely because you could return a false positive to the message queue and deliver the message without the headers getting changed. 
 
Is there such a utility that'll work directly with an IMail mailbox?  Also, rather than having spam redirected to a spam mailbox, should I be inserting X-Headers into the messages and then running delivery rules on them?  What "condition" statements would you recommend?
 
Certainly, I understand everyone has a different level of acceptable false positives and varying setups for controlling spam, so I'm ready for a myriad of possibilities.  For me, I don't really have a problem culling through a spambox on a daily basis in search of false positives but I'd like a more effective way of putting them back into the delivery cycle without them taking on the appearance of having come through another mailbox.
 
Your advice (and examples) are appreciated.
 
Ted
