Hello List,

I'd like to start off with a little background information to help you 
understand my question.

I currently use Sylpheed-Claws as my email client under Linux.

I have it configured so that I can select any message and press a hot key (F5, 
this was assigned by myself via GTK), which will execute a script on my 
filesystem and pass it (as a command line argument) the complete path and file 
name to the email that I selected.

This script will then pass the complete filename of the email to spamc, which 
will then send the email message to a remote SpamAssassin server (spamd) and 
then display the complete SPAM Score (whether it is spam or not) on my local 
console.

I set this up as an "instant feedback" mechanism so that I can easily make 
tweaks to my remote SpamAssassin (spamd) servers and verify that those tweaks 
have the intended results.

This setup works like this:
1. Find a piece of email which is spam, but has not yet been tagged as spam.
2. Highlight that email.
3. Press (F5).
3a.  A window will open on my computer which contains the running script.
3b.  The email path / file name is passed to my script
3c.  The script runs and passes the path / file name to spamc
3d.  Spamc runs and passes the contents of the file to the remote spamd server.
3e.  The remote spamd server analyzes the message and scores it based on its 
current setup.
3f.  The remote spamd server returns the Spam Score report.
3g.  Spamc displays the Spam Score report in the already open window on my 
computer.

I also have a script which I can run manually (and pass the emai file as an 
argument) which allows me to submit the message to the remote SpamAssassin 
(spamd) server for learning as HAM / SPAM.


Now for my question.

I have a client who is running Outlook 2003.
She would like the same functionality in her Outlook that I have in my mail 
client for processing of Spam.
She is accessing her email from the network via IMAP.

Does anyone know of a plugin for Outlook that will do this for her?

If such a plugin does not exist, is there anyone that can help me write this 
plugin?

I would think the procedure would go like this:

1. User selects message.
2. If the message is a email message (not calendar, contact, task, etc), then 
enable the 'Spam Score' button on the tool bar.
3. User clicks the 'Spam Score' button on the tool bar.
4. The message is extracted from Outlook and saved to a temp file on the file 
system.
5. SpamC is run against that temp file.
6. The Spam Score from SpamC is displayed on her screen.

There should also be a 'Learn SPAM' and 'Learn HAM' buttons on the tool bar.

Somewhere there should be a setup screen to specify the remote server name and 
the various options to be passed to spamc when it is called.

If someone could help me out on this, that would be much appreciated!


Thanks!
