What do the filter/webservers do?
I can't find a clear explanation of what is supposed to be happening when I run, e.g. sb_imapfilter.py, with no options. Here are some questions: --- The docs say it is "classifying" my email. Does that mean it is moving supposed spam to the designated spam folder and supposed ham to the designated ham folder? --- The sb_imapfilter.py --help contains the following: We never delete mail, unless you use the -e/purge option, but we do mark a lot as deleted, and your mail client might remove that for you. We try to only mark as deleted once the moved/altered message is correctly saved... I guess that means it's not really removing the messages. Is there a mail client that will show me the messages that are marked deleted but not expunged? --- When I run sb_imapfilter.py -l 1 the program exits instead of continuing to run. However, if I visit the webpage that is supposed to be enabled, it is blank (no 404 error) and I get this message on the console that launched sb_imapfilter.py: channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed Does anyone know what that means? --- Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
