[Spambayes] Email client integration -- what's needed?

[Tim@mail.powweb.com]

Ok, so what's rattling around in my head is a set of two proxies: a pop3 proxy and a smtp proxy.  the pop3 proxy, running either locally or on the mail server 
machine, is responsible for classification of email, and delivery as appropriate (tbd).  The smtp proxy, again running either locally or on the mail server, is 
responsible for training.  Mail sent to spam@ or ham@ is used by the proxy as training, and isn't actually sent onward.  The proxies would simply have to be 
configurable for what port to listen on, *and* what port to send on.  This configurability also handles the case where there are multiple proxies running in the 
same system.  For instance, I already have an SMTP proxy running, that I probably can't live without.  The Spambayes proxy would have to listen on a new 
port and send to the port that my current proxy is listening on...
