Antispam system: (10JUN -2007)
Last week i had an idea how to get spam out of my inbox.
The idea is extremly simple but proved to be very effective while testing.
Many advanced systems use algorithms to define spam,
my idea simply compares the emailadress the mail came from
to a list of emailadresses of your friends.
To create this 'friends list' you can simply export your
adessbook to a textfile and submit it to the system (HTTP POST) or copy-paste
Mails that come from unknown adresses are moved to another (IAMP) folder
and are therefore moved OUT OF YOUR INBOX and can be manually checked later.
This method is a simple but effective "first sorting of mail".
Pros & Cons:
- Real mail from people you don't know(or havn't mailed you before) will be treated as spam.
- Only works with server side stored mail (IMAP)
Im still testing the system.
It will be released as soon as i have a flawlessly working version.

Antispam system: (20FEB2008)
Because of lack of time, the progress is slow.
However, i have recently added the ability to
run the script as a CRONed shellscript and
it works like a charm!
I have come up with som new ideas of how to train
the system to identify spam by input of the user
by placing bad mail into special IMAP folders that
the system reads. This is what im currently working on.
