[Dovecot] antispam plugin and MUA-Junk folders
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hello,
I have a configuration problem, that I ignored till now.
Many MUAs tag SPAM themselves and move SPAM to a junk folder (Thunderbird uses "Junk").
It is said to not automatically train these mails, but let have an human revise them.
Currently, I have configured those folders as "trash" folders for antispam, which means that those messages are essentially lost, because a move into a spam folder will not train them. -> The current antispam plugin ignores moves in and out of trash folders completely. I wonder why the move trash -> SPAM is ignored?
If I configure those junk folders as "unsure" in antispam, the situation can happen, that an user selects a spam folder, the MUA identifies junk and moves the messages into its Junk folder. Current implementation would train this move as HAM.
How about the following:
- copy from * into trash or unsure -> not train
- copy from !spam into spam -> train as SPAM
- copy from spam or unsure into !(trash or unsure or spam) -> train as HAM
- else -> not train
Bye,

I really think you should turn that off. When it eventually does classify email, you will run into problems because you have two spam filters fighting over control.

Mostly because you could hit "undelete" and afaiu it would put them back? I haven't ever really used trash folders, somebody else requested support for those.
