This could very well be the place for a spam detector. However, SpamAssassin
works best at the MTA level and that's because it normally doesn't can the
spam for you; rather, it marks the subject with [spam] ala

"Subject: [SPAM] blah blah blah"

IMHO, the next thing to do is to write a Sieve script which moves all of the
messages with "spam" in their subject line into a spam folder or just drop
them altogether (though this is generally not recommended).

With respect to the sorting interface, because I'm a fan of statistical
Bayesian spam filters, I'd like to get one of those set up (and some of them
come in library form, too). The main problem is that most of them maintain
their own mbox or berkeley db database of spam to match against. That won't
work with dbmail, but we *do* have a "real" database right under our noses ;-)
So I've been looking into ways that we can build a corpus management
interface. Something that would give users a "mark as spam" button or a "Spam"
mailbox to move spam into / false positives out of.
