Sorry for the direct reply Tim, too many lists, forget which ones munge 
and which don't.

So let me just reiterrate for the list - I'd like this feature too :).  
Thinking about it, it may not be necessary for my setup, but it might 
not be a bad idea to have an enforcable filter.

Currently I'm not using the plugin, mainly for this reason, partly also 
because it seemed to have a couple of bugs though these are apparently 
fixed, however Johannes' site seems to have gone offline.

I did have a thought on how to work with this in my setup though - I 
allow people to edit their sieve scripts using INGO from the Horde 
project, though they could concievably do so from shell for those who 
have access.  What I was thinking of doing was having this default sieve 
script, and also duplicating the rules in the INGO default filters via 
prefs.php.  Then, when they go to edit their filters, the existing rules 
are also displayed, allowing them to continue using them once their user 
sieve script is initialised, or indeed 'opt-out' of the default 
filtering if they'd prefer to handle their spam some other way.  The 
only problem with that is working out the crazy horde prefs syntax to 
add a rule to the defaults:

$_prefs['rules'] = array(
    'value' => 
'a:4:{i:0;a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Whitelist";s:6:"action";i:' . 
INGO_STORAGE_ACTION_WHITELIST . 
';}i:1;a:3:{s:4:"name";s:8:"Vacation";s:6:"action";i:' . 
INGO_STORAGE_ACTION_VACATION . 
';s:7:"disable";b:1;}i:2;a:2:{s:4:"name";s:9:"Blacklist";s:6:"action";i:' 
. INGO_STORAGE_ACTION_BLACKLIST . 
';}i:3;a:2:{s:4:"name";s:7:"Forward";s:6:"action";i:' . 
INGO_STORAGE_ACTION_FORWARD . ';}}',
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => false,
    'type' => 'implicit'
);

And yes - it's only when messages are moved in/out via imap that they 
get passed to DSPAM.
