IMAP Spam Begone is a script that scans an IMAP inbox for spam using SpamAssassin, moving any found to another folder. Unlike the normal mode of deployments for SpamAssassin, isbg does not need to be involved in mail delivery, and can run on completely different machines to where your mailbox actually is.

It has been filtering my work email, some of which comes from a legacy email address that is from a spam unfiltered system. I run it as a cronjob every 15 minutes, and have had it doing that for 6 months. I get about 500 spams a month. Many other users are using it for a various servers abd a variety of platforms.

There are no known outstanding bugs.

Here are some key features of "IMAP Spam Begone":
Works with all common IMAP servers
Works on Linux, MacOS X and Windows
Can do IMAP over SSL
Can remember your password
Will work painlessly against multiple IMAP accounts and servers
Is not involved in the mail delivery process, and so can run on any machine that can contact your IMAP server
Highly configurable
Sensible defaults so you don't have to do any configuring :-)
