Well, some plugins only works with Maildir, mine will be another one of 
those.

Thats the question, this is not a problem if you right it to a file, but 
if you decide to classify the message instantly it will become a problem.
The base idea of dpam_plugin (at least what I have read from the wiki 
page) is to classify messages at night with a cron job, but it might be 
a problem (my mail server is realy busy at night, spammers love to work 
late).

If you create a FIFO for communication and you have a crash all messages 
that are queued get lost, with a file it wouldn't happen!

And if the user just wants to delete all spam messages without shift+del?
Those messages will be moved to trash and will be reclassified as ham?
Maybe this is a problem!

Anyway, I will try to do some tricks, unfortunately my C skills are 
close to zero! lol

Thankz!
