[spambayes-dev] Names

+1 on Skip's proposal for an apps subdir so as not to clutter the top
level directory.

Tony, this sounds interesting and is along the lines of some of my
earlier fiddling (nothing that got far enough along to check in).  I had
also played with a maildir-based classifier, but then realized there
doesn't seem to exist a free/open source imap server of any ilk that can
grok both maildir and mbox folders (courier seems to be just maildir,
uw-imap just mbox, afaict).

My next logical step <wink> was a Twisted based imap server that
understands both on-disk formats and does "some kind of spambayes
filtering as well".  Sounds like you've made good progress along that
front.  I don't really care about pop3 at all.

I called mine imapfilter.py but that sucks.  Maybe just "pymap" would be
a neat Python application that Just Happens to support spam filtering
and training???
