Users. I have a hard time getting my users to wrap their heads around the concept of a "spam" folder vs "trash" folder; persuading them to forward spam has about a 0.05% chance of success. Perhaps you're luckier, but even so - I think that a shared (or per user) "Junk"/"Spam" folder is a lot easier for people to grasp and they're more likely to use it. Especially when app hooks can be provided to map a key/button to a "move to mailbox" command. Of course, if you can do that you can probably do a 'forward to address' button too, but still - I'd consider the folder option superior myself. It also has the advantage reducing the number of messages passing through the SMTP server, which is always good IMHO. Especially when SMTP deliveries are "expensive" due to virus scanning, spam checking, etc. Craig Ringer --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
