Hi we use spamassassin and if the spam score is higher than out trigger
we set the header x-lboro-spam-level. Users who wish to have their spam
filtered into a separate folder have a folder created for the called
Filtered_SPAM (they choose this from a web page). When they choose this
option a copy of a file called .specialfilter is put into their home
dir. This is the file


# Exim filter
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. This is an automatically generated filter.

##action:show
if "${if def:h_x-lboro-spam-level:{true}{false}}" is "true"
then
save "$home/Maildir/.Filtered-SPAM/"
finish
endif

Thus anything marked as spam by us is delivered into their Filtered-SPAM
folder, which they can then read via their IMAP client.
