The question is really whether there is anything wrong with the built-in
filtering.  If it works, why reinvent the wheel?  (Of course if the
built-in filtering isn't that good, like Outlook, then there's plenty of
reason).

It should end up on the mac page on the website, if nowhere else (which
is almost empty at the moment!).  If someone puts the information
together, I'm happy to put it up; I don't really have time to do the
putting together at the moment (plus I'd feel better about doing it if I
had access to a mac to test what I'm saying is right).

Documentation really does need to be improved all around (well, maybe
excepting the Outlook plugin).  Want to volunteer?  <0.5 wink>.  (Note
that POPFile is 'stable' (i.e. has been released), whereas spambayes is
still in alpha/beta.

It works by proxying on different ports.  So you'd proxy
valkyrie.image-acquire.com on 110 (or 1110) and
verbose.twistedhistory.com on 111 (or 1111), for example.  You setup
Eudora to connect to the appropriate localhost port.
