It could be limited. For the simplest example, assume the same machine... The defang user could have a sudo rule that allows it to call one particular script as the vmail/dovecot user. That script would take arguments of the account (email address) and a Message-ID. It would move the message with that ID from Junk (and only Junk) to Inbox. In this way, defang wouldn't have arbitrary access to IMAP mailboxes. > An enhancement would be to automatically train messages in Junk as spam > if they've been there for at least 5 days. We were doing something like that for a while. When a message was expired (deleted) from Junk, we would train it as spam. In our case, that was 14 days. We were doing global (not per-user) Bayesian filtering, so it was a mess accuracy-wise and we quit Bayesian filtering entirely. -- Richard _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
