Not necessary, IMHO.

http://www.spampal.org.uk/

already does this job, not necessary to blow up an _MUA_.

There are tools to handle mail (e.g. The Bat!) and there are tools to
filter for complex criteria (e.g. SpamPal), let's not mix all tools up to
much :-)

BTW: SpamPal can simply TAG possible spam messages, so you can easily
filter on that tags. Either it put them into 'Subject:' (which I don't
like) or only adds an additional header which one can easily filter on :-)

My filter for that is really simple:

,-----= [  ] =-----
BeginFilter
Name: SpamCheck
Active: 1
Source: \\pit\Inbox
Target: \\pit\Inbox
CopyFolder: \\\\none
MainSet: 40^X-SpamPal:
MainSet: 41^X-SpamPal: PASS
Actions: faoContinueProcessing,faoRegExp,faSetColor
ColourGroup: spam
EndFilter
`-----=

It simply looks for header 'X-SpamPal:' _AND_ if this header has not the
value 'PASS'. If so it assigns a special color group. One can of course
also move that messages to a spam folder, a matter of taste :-)
