They don't have accounts on the machine so they can't login. But, Imap recognizes them as users. They do have a home directory from imap's persective. I got the term from the dovecot documentation here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers I also did find out something last night on further search that I can potentially connect spam to an SQL database. With that tool I may be able to run sa-learn on virtual users mail to define virtual user specific filtering. Have the users store mail they consider to be spam in a known mailbox name. Then run a cron job to run sa-learn on each user's mailbox telling it's --spam and run sa-learn on the other mailboxes telling sa-learn it is --ham and run sa-learn with the -u option. >From what I can tell sa-learn will then store user specific spam info in the database. I still need a way to run spamassassin on incoming mail to let it know what the username is that the email is destined for. So, maybe I need to create a wrapper to make a local mailer that runs spamc on mail that hasn't already been tagged as spam using the username and then fed that into dovecot-lda for the actual delivery. This is one of the pages that talks about spamassassin and databases: http://vps.donwyatt.com/My_SpamAssassin_MySQL_How-To.html http://www.wistful.net/wiki/My_SpamAssassin_MySQL_How-To http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsingSQL The last one has a section entitled: "Global, Per-Domain, and Per-User Preferences via SQL" I don't know for sure yet if this will give me what I want, because I haven't really had time to play with anything. But, I do have hope.
