The concern with using IMAP for us is that my company's employees aren't
centrally located (IE - we aren't all in the same office) and I don't trust
IMAP without being part of the VPN etc.
I could make everyone log in to the VPN and then copy over to IMAP, but it
would cause their Outlook etc to give failure notices anytime they weren't
connected to the VPN (as the IMAP accounts would not be able to be reached).
We don't leave any copies of mail on the server itself once the user pulls
it down, so I can't have them log back in via webmail etc to move it either.
Hmmm...
I'd like to hear what others are doing, as we have a couple users that in
spite of the MailScanner and SpamAssassin settings, they are still getting a
good deal of spam per day.
Thanks,

YEah tghis is everyone's concern. Its been documented in the archives that
most people attempt to use either an IMAP script on the mailscanner machine
to pull the mail from the exchange/groupwise/domino server to an
mbox/maildir and then run sa-learn on - as imap does a copy basically,
rather than forwarding and destroying the original headers.
Or even better is have access on your mail system so everyone can COPY into
another mailbox and then run sa-learn on it.
You could get bayes to ignore all the headers and just learn the content?
I am not sure what everyone does about checking through all the mail to make
sure the usrs ahvent put ham in the spa,m box etc
