This is a simple namespace definition, nothing specific to my plugin.
The learn.* part of the namespace is declared public and stored an a
specific location. I did this to avoid counting the learnt messages to
the quota.

And here I define that any message stored to /var/learn/%u/.spam where
%u is the username (that is learn.spam in the user's IMAP namespace) has
to be piped to the "spamc -d some.host -L spam" command. And the same
for ham.


Hope this helps,
