Filters Plugin
-IMPORTANT: I've noticed at least one version of PHP that has bugs in the
-checkdnsrr() function that the SPAM filtering code RELIES ON. In my case,
-the PHP server that comes with Mandrake 8.1 has this problem -- checkdnsrr()
-NEVER finds the inaddr records, even the ones that really exist. (sigh)
-
-NOTE!!! As of the time of this writing, there is a bug in sqimap_read_data()
-in functions/imap_general.php. I rewrote it (see sqimap_read_data.php) so
-if the SPAM filters aren't filtering, make a backup copy of
-functions/imap_general.php, remove the sqimap_read_data() function in there
-and replace it with the contents of sqimap_read_data.php. Hopefully, either
-my replacement will be blessed by squirrelmail-devel or some other version
-will come out soon. Now back to your regularly scheduled README... (grin)
-
-This is a poor alternative to procmail or Elm's filter programs. This is a
-pathetic replacement for good RBL mail scanning when you get the mail. This
-is more for systems that can't/won't offer that kind of functionality and
-you still require it.
-
-This is slow. Yep. Slow.
-
-
-To configure, first you need to rename config.sample.php to config.php.
-You should then just take a peek at config.php and set
-$SpamFilters_YourHop to some string if you want to avoid tons of false
-hits on the RSS and DUL and ORBS databases. It should also speed up the
-scan somewhat.
-
-If you do not want to enable spam filters for all users, edit config.php and
-set the $AllowSpamFilters to false. Spam filters can take TONS of time, so
-if you don't want your users to complain and ask you tons of questions, this
-is a quick and easy method.
-
-If you use UW and if you encounter strange errors while using this plugin on
-your system, edit config.php and set $UseSeparateImapConnection to true. This
-may not solve the problem. One problem it might fix is if you run UW 2001
-and if you don't see the number of unread messages in your left-hand folder
-pane, or if you see timeouts or IMAP server error messages. Turning on this
-feature may slow down the filters a bit more since it has to open a new
-connection.
-
-Lastly, if there are some IPs that you want to refuse email from or some IPs
-you want to accept email from REGARDLESS of what the DNS databases say, you
-can put in overrides in the SpamFilters_DNScache[] array. See the comments
-in config.php for more info on this.
+This plugin filters your inbox into different folders based upon given criteria.
+It is most useful for people who are subscibed to mailing lists to help organize
+their messages. The argument stands that filtering is not the place of the
+client, which is why this has been made a plugin for SquirrelMail. You may be
+better off using products such as Sieve or Procmail to do your filtering so it
+happens even when SquirrelMail isn't running.
