Hi Ben,
Certainly not reinventing the wheel.
It's more about classifying the importance of legitimate emails, like
the 'Priority' inbox from google, but open source.
It's common to receive emails from mailing lists without the appropriate
List-Id headers, therefore, recognising these kind of emails is tricky.
On the other hand, I am using Dovecot virtual folders, and there is one
called 'Important', that uses the resulting header.
ATB,
André

Spamassassin to me ;)
Reinventing the wheel perhaps ?

Hi,
I posted a message about that a few weeks ago, but I did not find
anything, so I created it myself.
I wanted a perl script to automatically classify bulks & mailing lists
from private / business emails.
I am clearly not a Perl expert, but the code is simple, readable and
optimised enough to have no impact on performances (so far).
This is clearly an embryonic state, the first results are encouraging,
at least for me.
The script recognise Mailing list email, bulk emails and private
emails.
