How to Install

Install spamassassin (www.spamassassin.org) following the instructions at the
site.

Put the IMAPAssassin script somewhere you can execute it.

Place imapsa.conf in your ~/.spamassassin directory

Edit imapsa.conf to supply your IMAP username, password, and server.

How to Run

Execute ImapAssassin. It will run and not exit unless killed. You can start
ImapAssassin from a cron job since it checks for a running instance before
starting.

Troubleshooting

The PID file is kept at ~/.spamassassin/IMAP.pid

IMAP.pid contains the PID of the running IMAPAssassin. Removing this shouldn't
be necessary, but if it won't start you might try that.

Features

Uses IMAP search feature to select messages to scan. User can specify the search
string in the configuration file.
