Mail box to bogo

[Karl Schmidt]

You are sure this will keep the message count correct?

- These are actually imap 'folders'. The folders are actually a file 
that appears to be in the mailbox format with only a header at the top.

What I was wanting to do is grab this folder/file with a script that 
would feed it through bogofilter. Should be able to then work with two 
folders one for missed spam and one to put incorrectly flagged legit mail.

Probably should have a real imap client do this, but it appears that I 
could set up a kludge for now.

Once I get a filter working correctly, I want to set up an second script 
that will send a header and copy of the spam to the 
postmaster at sending_domain and abuse at sendingdomain.

I am trying real hard not have to go to a web form email system.
