Hello,
To easily access my mail both offline on my computer and on my phone, I am synchronizing a local copy on my computer using offlineimap. As the spam filtering options provided on the server are not sufficient, I am now looking into client-side spam filtering.
My current setup is as follows. Mail is synchronized using offlineimap, and delivered to a local dovecot server:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [Repository LocalIMAP] type = IMAP preauthtunnel = /usr/local/Cellar/dovecot/2.2.10/libexec/dovecot/imap -c ~/.dovecotzimbra.rc --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The configuration of the local server is simply:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- protocols = imap mail_location = maildir:~/.Maildir/zimbra:INBOX=~/.Maildir/zimbra/.INBOX --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I then read my mail using gnus, and index it using notmuch.
A suggestion I've been considering is use the pigeonhole sieve extprograms plugin (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms) to call the spam filter (I've been looking at dspam at the moment). However, I could not find how to configure the use of sieves in the context of offlineimap. Hence my questions:
Is it possible to use dovecot sieves in such a setting? Is there a howto that explains how to do it?
Should I try to do things in a different way? (I'm ready to change my setup, as long as I can keep an offline copy of my email in sync with a server copy.)
Thanks a lot for any suggestion,
Alan
PS: I used to use SpamSieve (http://c-command.com/spamsieve/) on a Mac Mini that was running continuously as a spam filter drone. This machine has been retired and I'm basically looking for leaner ways to do a similar thing.
