Spam Filtering in Qmail


Hi all,

Here is what I need to be able to do: I have an e-mail account on my sever called joey.dale@elkensever.net, at which I get about 400 spam emails a day, This is not a problem when using my home computer, but at my buddys house, I have to use a web interface that only shows 50 emails per page, so I need a server side program to move posable spam e-mails to an account called joey.dale.spam@elkenserver.net.

Thank You
-Joey

If you're running yur own server you would probably want to just have any messages tagged as SPAM moved to a different folder in your mailbox. You can do this with most of the SPAM filters automically or just have the messages tagged in the the subject line and apply a filter (if your webmail application supports it) that will move it when you run the filter option.

The problem with that is that the webmail client does not support it
