I imagine you could automate this to a reasonable degree using a combination of hooks to automate tagging/saving, but it really is a job that is better done in the MDA. > 2.

Not directly that I am aware of (keep in mind that mutt itself is little more than a glorified file browser/viewer), but it can utilize an external filter. See the spam/nospam directives. http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html#spam > I tried to setup fetchmail, but it's really slow and my third problem is, > I'd like to tunnel the incoming mail transfers through an ssh tunnel. > fetchmail has a --plugin option, but I didn't understand the documentation. I used this for a really long time, and it worked splendidly: poll $FQDN via localhost port 65525 with proto pop3, tracepolls: user "$USERNAME" password "$PASSWORD" preconnect "ssh -2 -f -q -N -x -T -L 65525:127.0.0.1:110 -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking yes' $FQDN sleep 600"; This sets up a SSH tunnel (listening on local port 65525) and then connects through it to the remote mail server at $FQDN. Adjust as necessary to suit your setup. The only requirement is that the SSH tunnel can be set up (actually, the preconnect command can finish) non-interactively. And fetchmail being slow? I haven't run any benchmarks, but I have never noticed any delays with it. -- Michael Kjörling .. michael@xxxxxxxxxxx .. http://michael.kjorling.se * .....
