sb_imapfilter1

An imap filter

Overview

An IMAP message box is scanned and all non-scored messages are scored and (where necessary) filtered.

Usage:

	sb_imapfilter [options]
	note: option values with spaces in them must be enclosed
	in double quotes
	options:

-p: dbname : pickled training database filename

-d: dbname : dbm training database filename

-t: : train contents of spam folder and ham folder

-c: : classify inbox

-h: : display this message

-v: : verbose mode

-P: : security option to prompt for imap password,

: rather than look in options["imap", "password"]

-e y/n: : expunge/purge messages on exit (y) or not (n)

	`-i` debuglvl : a somewhat mysterious imaplib debugging level
	(4 is a good level, and suitable for bug reports)

-l minutes: : period of time between filtering operations

-b: : Launch a web browser showing the user interface.

	`-o` section:option:value :
	set [section, option] in the options database to value
	Classify inbox, with dbm database
	sb_imapfilter `-c` `-d` bayes.db
	Train Spam and Ham, then classify inbox, with dbm database
	sb_imapfilter `-t` `-c` `-d` bayes.db
	Train Spam and Ham only, with pickled database
	sb_imapfilter `-t` `-p` bayes.db

Warnings:

: o We never delete mail, unless you use the -e/purge option, but we do

: mark a lot as deleted, and your mail client might remove that for you. We try to only mark as deleted once the moved/altered message is correctly saved, but things might go wrong. We *strongly* recommend that you try this script out on mail that you can recover from somewhere else, at least at first.
