BTW, there's lots of explanation about how to do this in the docs.  Note
that you can't use the smtpproxy with Outlook Express at the moment, so
training has to be done via the web interface (or one of the command
line tools).

I would say that it's finally reached alpha.  No guarantees that it will
always work, but it should for the most part.  *As long as no other
program expunges/purges messages* your original mail is never lost, in
any case.
