[ILUG-Social] spam filter as mail user agent

[Fergal Daly]

Never heard of one before but since there are already lots of SPAM filters
written in Perl it may be a lot easier to adapt one of them to use IMAP as
it's source with the Mail:IMAPClient or Net::IMAP::Simple module or even
just nick the rulesets.

Of course if you know lots more Java than Perl then it won't be at all
easier,
