I use procmail with a statistical spam filter (my own but it could very well be ifile or bogofilter or what ever.) The spam splitter stores all spam in a spam folder. The rest is filtered by normal procmail rules to other folders. It is very convenient if you use different MUAs or access you mail from different locations.

In my current setup there is no reclassification dynamically. I just use imap to store in spam and ham folders. Then once in a while I generate new statistics based on the spam and ham folders. I have been thinking of going dynamic with reclassification by using temporary folders together with a cronjob. I have just now tried it yet and thus haven't found out what problems there might be with such an approach. Yours -- %% Mats
