sa-learn (Slightly OT)

[Martin.Hepworth]

Kyle

There's plenty of imap perl sa-learn scripts knocking about so you can have a global ham and spam folder then run the perl script on the MailScanner box to grab the email in ham and spam.

If you can't find one contact me off list and I'll drop you over mine.
