Yes, that is all I want (for now :-).  Just a field on the POP set up screen 
where I can enter the path and optionally command line parameters to run any 
program that happens before M does its thing.

Small price to pay when you consider 4 spams that might get through verses 
200?

Since mailfilter is a open source thing, would it be possible to link it in 
some how so that works as a library to M?   That would solve the problem.

Also mailfilter could benefit from M's nice AND/OR type rules, some thing 
that it lacks.

Yes.  There are still some features of mailfilter that can't be done yet with 
M, at least I've not figured out how.  Such as enabling case sensitive rules 
on a case by case bases.

A set of global rules would also be nice, that I've not figured out how to do.

For example I've found that 80% of the spam I get is not addressed to any of 
my valid email addresses.

I'd like a rule that checks a list of my valid email addresses and if no 
match is found it deletes the message.  I could put my email address in each 
rule with AND/OR's etc. but that is a real pain.
