My server is moving all tagged spam into the IMAP spam folder. Very
nice for the IMAP users, but not for the POP users.  Of course the
server don't know, and the mysql database for users does not have any
flags for this.  Don't want my server to fill up with spam from POP
users that don't know to check via IMAP.

I am using roundcubemail for the webmail IMAP client.  Is there any way
for POP users to indicate that they do not want spam so nicely auto
moved to the IMAP spam folder?

dovecot just don't know if it is a "POP3 user"

That I know. Though since it is using a mysql database of users, I COULD add a column designating this. But it would be difficult to maintain. Better perhaps for dovecot NOT to be so nice to move the messages and leave that to the client.

it is just a user

what about setup a better spam filter so you can deliver the 5-10 spam messages just to INBOX with [SPAM] added to the subject?

Well ***SPAM*** is added to the subject. And it seems that dovecot is being really nice to act on that and move it. Now I have to remember what I did to configure this and unconfigure this. I did much of the work long ago, set it aside, built a new box,,, So now I am learning what I did.


to give you some numbers: 1200 users, 150 flagged messages per day

I only have 12 users. Small time, I know. And some have 1000 flagged messages per day.
