Hi all,
I'm interested in implementing an anti-spam system using bayesian filtering. I had the idea of modifying and IMAP server to assist in training the spam filter.
I was thinking of running a program whenever a message in moved to the folder "Spam" or to a "Safe" folder. This could be easily added to the server as a generic feature, with hook programs for:
- new message in a folder (either new, or moved into the folder)
- message in folder is modified
- message in folder is removed and so on. If the support was generic enough there could be many uses for it. Security of the external program needs to be considered but doesn't really affect the IMAP server itself.
Anyway, if I were to write a patch to add support for running an external program in these cases, would it be included? Any feedback would be appreciated, if I'm going to do this I might as well do it in a way that can be integrated back into the main tree!
Cheers Grahame
