we have spamassassin running our mail server.
i have a friend who is getting a pile of spam to his account at a different

he wants to know if i can do anything about his spam
i have some notion that we should be able to run spamassassin and a script
on a cron to poke through his mailbox (the isp runs imap and pop3 at the
same time on the same mailboxes/server) and delete spam, so that when he
checks his mail once or twice a day, his mail will have been spam filtered
- maybe a few will have found their way in because the spam filter hasn't
run in the last 15/30 minutes, but most other spam woul be gone
Risky to delete it, but IMAP moving it into another folder is certainly
reasonable. Personally, I'd just fetchmail everything into one master
account, then SpamAssassin it.
does such a script currently exist?
how hard would it be for someone knowledgable in perl to write one?
not too hard, CPAN modules exist to manipulate the mailboxes remotely
(http://search.cpan.org/search?query=imap&mode=all).
There also is a tool called "imapassassin" that does what you want:
