IMAP Spam Be Gone (isbg)
I just realized two things:
- I never speak our about isbg, which I'm the new maintainer
- I fail releasing isbg v0.99 before Xmas, as announced on the mailing list
So… Time to fix that case.
My story with isbg start in november 2009: I needed to train a spamassassin and add some custom rules for my mail accouts, but I wasn't root on the mail machine. A short search lead me to isbg and Roger Binns, its creator. isbg just scan IMAP account for unseen mails and submit them to a λ spamassassin instance to score it, and eventually add headers, score detail, move mail, destruct mail, etc.
isbg worked great (even if ssl was broken) but I needed to point out a specific folder to train spamassassin with false positive and uncaught spams. So I cantact Roger. And… I think he was waiting for me :) I ask for a public repository to propose patch its baby, but he gave me the baby. Full stop :)
That's my first python script, never even read a full script before this.
So now, an isbg v0.98 is live, with its redmine instance, its github project, etc.
The next version, isbg v0.99, is rather ready in its branch: I just have to push a small option and making some tests (other that my two cronjob running it each 5 minutes since december ;) )
PS: for the little story, googling isbg don't return it before, and now it have 6 results in the top 10 :) (SEO powa!)
