Replacement for antispam plugin

Glad I poked around on the list today!

Thanks to all for the suggestions about integration with dspam.

I'll definitely have to look into this, as I rely on moving messages
to a specific folder with various IMAP clients to retrain dspam false
positives and negatives.

A quick pair of questions:

* Does Dovecot support the IMAP "MOVE" command at this time?

* If so, what is the syntax for "COPY or MOVE" for the _causes variables?


I did see messages from 2011 discussing it, but nothing since.


While the script looks like it could be modified for use with dspam
(with the great suggestions from others on the list), it has the same
problem as "antispam" with bulk moves being serialized and tying of
the client until they complete.  I'll probably have to break down and
look into using FreeBSD's auditd to trigger the actions and then
de-queue the successfully processed messages.

Sieve doesn't look like it can handle asynchronous processing, but I'd
certainly be interested if I'm missing something there.  One less thing
to configure and maintain!
