and what's with pine+imap? (was: Re: Suggentions for server side spam control)
i tried checking for the possibility to have spam filtering with the following configuration: remote mail server, accessed using 'pine', via an imap server. - thus, i cannot install a spam-filter on the remote server. - the local procmail is never activated, and thus seems to be un-useable here. - i can't use fetchmail - this is imap, not pop3. - couldn't find a way, in pine's configuration, on how to set up a filter that passes the message via an external program. - searching for a solution using google, as well as reading spamassassin's documentation, just shows solutions that assume you can set spamassassin to run via procmail. this does not seem to work for my setup. is there any solution, _WITHOUT_ replacing the mail client, and without reverting to pop3? -- guy For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator. -- nob o. dy = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IIRC, fetchmail supports IMAP, so use fetchmail+procmail and then either use the downloaded mail locally, or use IMAP to upload the mail back to the server. this setup defeats the purpose of using imap in the first place - to be able to see all messages _without_ downloading the messages themselves. i'm beginning to think i'm asking for the imposible - to filter the letter, i need to first download it. however, i should be able to filter out by the message headers that _are_ downloaded by imap, thus eliminating a large part of the spam, and only then downloading the rest of it for further inspection... oh, well. no spam solution for me... -- guy For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator. -- nob o. dy = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Search for software where it is indexed, FreshMeat. http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=filter+imapsection=projectsx=0y=0 Shows as first hit IMAPAssassin which should fit the bill. The logic of such a beast is not very hard, read from imap, send throgh spamassassin, upload a modified message according to what SA returned. Obviously, the devil is in the little details.
