Can the techniques discussed in the Info manual be > applied to an imap situation? If so, how? This is exactly how I use spam.el, since I prefer to split on the client side. SpamAssassin is not added yet as an official check, but feel free to do it, following the instructions in the manual for adding a new backend, or look at the bogofilter backend. It's really very simple. I don't use SA, but I can implement this if enough people need it - it will be faster if a SA user can write and test the code though. Ted
