Summary: anyone working on a .deb package for spambayes

Initial Comment:
I'm kinda interested in the idea at the moment, but I'm 
wondering if there is a volunteer for binary packages on 
systems besides windows.  I'm just installing imap_filter 
right now.
Is there a special reason why imap_filter is a filter and 
not a true proxy, for that matter?

Ok well write me down for the debian package, I'll try to look 
into the rules file this weekend.

I'm sure no-one would have a problem with it if someone 
volunteered to put together a non-windows package.  I think 
there are two reasons why windows is getting one first - 
because the users tend to need more help, and because the 
majority of the developers that are interested in putting out a 
package are windows users.

imapfilter is a filter and not a proxy because that's what was 
requested at the time it was created.  I do think it makes 
more sense in many ways, too, since imap is designed to 
leave mail on the server, and pop isn't.  It makes it easier to 
access mail from multiple locations and still have it filtered, 
without having multiple instances of spambayes installed.  It 
also avoids any problems with syncronising mail and having 
local copies that differ from the server ones.  For that matter, 
it also saves a lot of work for clients that don't store local 
copies, and always retrieve from the server.

All that said, it wouldn't be overly difficult to create an imap 
proxy (based on sb_server), if you wanted to do it.
