redirecting

[ecj at telpacific.com.au]

Thanks for the reply guys. What I want to do is make the filtering on the
server side. I'm running imap so like yahoo/hotmail, junk emails will
automatically go to their 'junk' folder and users can access them either
with their client using IMAP or webmail.
So what do you think is better to do:
1. Just prepend the subject with like: Subject: Probable Spam <Original
Subject>
2. Add an extra header like: X-Spam = Y/N
Then in either way, emails will be scanned and if found to be spam, will
go to the junk folder.
So you think the best way to filter this is thru procmail? Oh wait, I'm
using MySQL to auth users BTW.

Cheers.
Edward
