adding:

It was designed to store spam (or ham) in a  remote IMAP account/folder 
to avoid having mabox/files on MailScanner boxes.

Back in 2006, when your wrote it, it required a massive MS hack to make 
it work. I gave up hacking through MS releases to keep it running.

MS' new action features seem to fit the concept way better so it may be 
of use again.
