One of the reasons I won't touch imap in my setup. Here, its all mine to do
with as I see fit once it has been sucked by fetchmail, and passed the
procmail/spamassassn gauntlet. I rather like it that way. That may cost me
a false positive occasionally because I have procmail /dev/null anything with
5 * in the X-Spam-Level header, but since I derive no income from any of it,
that doesn't bother me a bit that I may have missed the email telling me a
rich uncle died and left me 700 million of something. ;-)
I also train for spam daily, dropping that which isn't wanted into a spam
folder, and a cron script then trains it that the stuff in that folder IS
spam. It works slowly but eventually in every case but one so far.

No, I don't have a drinking problem.
I drink, I get drunk, I fall down.
No problem!
