this is nifty; a patch to courier-imap to call "sa-learn" when
a user drags a message into a folder!

I use the same thing for reclassifications of spam, but have found the 
following useful:

http://da.andaka.org/Doku/imapspamfilter.html

Specifically, the patch to storeinfo.c that allows triggering of a 
command on storage of an message.  Example from that page:

>ON_COPY_TO_BOX_Spam="source /etc/profile; /usr/bin/sa-learn --spam \`pwd\`/'%s
' --dbpath \`pwd\`/../.spamassassin"
>ON_COPY_TO_BOX_Trash=""
>ON_COPY_TO_NOT_LISTED="source /etc/profile; /usr/bin/sa-learn --ham \`pwd\`/'%
s' --dbpath \`pwd\`/../.spamassassin"
>

All my users have to do is drag an item out of their spam folder and 
into whatever other folder (other than trash) and it is automatically 
trained to be ham.  It also erases the need to have a cron job (which is 
what I was doing before) to process the "Spam" mail folder.  So cycles 
are not wasted looking for messages to be classified.
