Package: DSPAM Maildir Train
System name: dmt
Type: GNU
Description:
Project name: DSPAM Maildir Train (or DMT for short)
More info:

Summary:
Have you installed DSPAM to get server-wide spam filtering? Is your end user's mail stored in Maildirs centrally on your mail server? Do your end users use IMAP email clients? Then DMT can make it convenient for your end users to train DSPAM with spam and legitimate messages (AKA "ham") without leaving the comfort of their email clients. All they have to do is drag-n-drop missed spam to an IMAP mail folder like "MissedSpam". Or false positives and older, pre-DSPAM-deployment ham into a folder like "HamTrainNSave" or "HamTrainNDel" (based on wether they want to save the message after training of not). After DMT submits these messages to DSPAM for training, the messages end up saved in folders like "XXOldSpamXX", "XXSaveXX", or "Inbox.Trash". By dragging-n-dropping messages in bulk, this can be a huge productivity booster for larger sites that receive a lot of spam, and can lead to DSPAM being rapidly trained after a new deployment.
Additionally, DMT provides an alternative, more convenient route to spam quarantine management, rather than using a web-based quarantine tool like the one provided with DSPAM. With DMT, a user can view their quarantine (as a mail folder with a name like "SpamQuarantine) from directly within their email client, then retrain DSPAM on false positives using drag-n-drop to folders like "HamTrainNSave" or "HamTrainNDel")
The license is GPL. An all-Open-Source combination of software can interact with DMT:

Other Software Required:
* maildir2mbox, provided as a standard utility with Qmail. Or use Google to find it precompiled and download it if you're in a hurry.
* dspam_corpus, which is a standard utility that is provided with DSPAM for bulk/corpus spam heuristic training based on provided spam or ham messages.
* maildirmake, which is provided by several places, DMT was tested using the one provided by maildrop, but any maildirmake should work as long as it takes the "-f" argument.
