I would very much welcome a webinterface for filtering, independent of
sqwebmail.
I would be great if there would be a way to filter mailboxes and not
only incoming mail.
I currently have all my filters set up and working with maildrop, and I
think the maildrop filtering rules are quite powerful. In order to
improve integration I think it would be best if vpopmail and sqwebmail
use this syntax. Sqwebmail already does, except that it writes it's own
comments in the filter files, which means that it wasn't able to parse
my filters, which meant I had to re-enter them anyway. (It's probably
quite straight forward to write some conversion script which helps out
in this).
The way I have it now is that I have two filter files, one for incoming
mail and one which I invoke with a cron (by the vpopmail user) and which
cleans out my mailbox every night. That way I do get to read the
messages from mailinglists in my inbox without the need to check the
seperate mailfolders, but they don't stay to fill up my incoming
mailbox.
Just some thoughts,
Michiel
