Package: DSPAM Maildir Train
System name: dmt
Type: GNU

Description:
Project name: DSPAM Maildir Train (or DMT for short)

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.
