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?
How do you even define a "pop user" - it's not an easy thing to determine.
Some that connects to port 110 using a POP3 client. Remember those?
Back to the days of Eudora, perhaps? Pete Resnick still attends IETF.
Of course one time they attach with POP3, another with IMAP so I did
find out what I did and now I have to decide what to do about it.
Problem with taking such a big move in one, and then seeing how it
works. Or not.
Someone who hasn't logged in via IMAP in x days? Perhaps implement a
lastlogin_imap field?
You really should just have a flag in your database.
Otherwise, just purge from the spam folder messages older than X days
(preferably after notifying the users, of course).
Something to think about. Might be good for those that are not IMAP users.
Another (rather annoying) feature some people have is to have a "spam
report" delivered to Inbox daily, listing messages delivered to Spam
in the past 24 hours, you can script that around doveadm fetch.
but basically the above purge would result in a daily message: "I am
going to purge old spam if you don't do it yourself".
