The only way to make this work reliably is to filter serverside.
I didn't think seriously about this because I didn't have the problem
and SpamSieve was more than enough… but now I should probably
reconsider.
How does this work?
Is this something that my ISP / domain-provider has to switch on or
is it something I should install server-side?
It varies widely. The general rule is that server-side filtering has
to be made available by whoever administers your MTA and/or your IMAP
server. How you interact with it is an "implementation-specific"
detail...
Typically, server-side filtering of mail into various IMAP mailboxes
is done at delivery time so if it is available, it is a function of
the delivery agent that operates between the SMTP server that accepts
the mail and the mailstore from which the IMAP server serves it to
you. If you have a shell login on your mail server, you may have the
option of using "procmail" which is one of the oldest and still most
widely used filtering tools, despite it having been abandoned in
disgust and shame by its own creator many years ago. A more modern
possibility is an implementation of the Sieve filtering language,
often remotely manageable via a web interface or a ManageSieve (RFC
5804) implementation. Some providers (e.g. GMail, Office365) offer
their own server-side filtering tools accessed through their web
interfaces.
Ok, I'll check mit my domain-provider.
Thanks, Bill!
