[vps-mail] imanager hack to enable bayes training

[Ricardo Newbery <newbery@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

The latest version of imanager (2.11) has a very fairly easy to use 
SpamAssassin interface but it hasn't been updated yet to take full 
advantage of the current version of SA.  Specifically, Bayes database 
training.

I figure Rus will get to this in due time but I needed something now 
so I threw this hack together last weekend.  Only tested on a VPS2 
with Imanager 2.11 and SA 2.63.  Your mileage may vary.  Use at your 
own risk.

Features:

  * Mail listing color coded.  Red lines are tagged as spam by SA.

  * Can manually feed selected spam/ham back into SA to train bayes database.

  * Can define the {INBOX} as the Filtered Mail Folder.  In effect, enabling
    SA tagging to add the spam headers but leaving all mail in your inbox.

I tell folks to set their email clients to leave messages on the 
server for a few days and use their own filters to process the 
messages.  Gives them another option if they don't want to risk SA 
dumping legitimate email.

Email headers to look for when filtering client-side...

  X-Spam-Flag: YES  (or NO)
  X-Spam-Level: * (a number of asterisks equal to the SA score)

This is a quick hack.  Feedback is appreciated.  I already thought of 
a few improvements I could make but it works and I figure Rus will 
come up with something better eventually.

Enjoy,
Ric
