[imp] newbie: How to make proper spam settings

[Jens-Uwe Mozdzen]

Dear list,

I found setting up spam handling (in IMP plus user preferences) a bit  
confusing. Now that I know what to expect, everything works, but to  
get there took me some time.

My goal is to have an option for our users to declare individual mails  
as "spam". Those messages are just to be moved to a specific  
sub-folder of the user's INBOX, so there's no external program call  
required.

In the user-specific mail settings, there's the page to make spam  
settings. With my user, I select my spam folder, the action is set to  
"move to spam folder" respectively "move to inbox", "show delete spam  
entry in menu" is checked. I've set to never purge the spam folder.

During initial Horde5 configuration, I configured IMP "message and spam" to

$conf['spam']['spamfolder'] = false;
$conf['spam']['email_format'] = 'digest'; // auto-set, not required  
because no mail is sent
$conf['spam']['reporting'] = true;

Now when looking at my incoming mail, I see a big "spam" button above  
the message list, but pressing it does nothing to the message. I have  
to set
$conf['spam']['program'] = '/bin/true';
and now when I press "SPAM", I receive a positive feedback message and  
the message is marked as spam - but still in the INBOX. It takes a  
list refresh to (visually) remove the message from the INBOX.

Is it worth an RFE to assume result code "true" if no specific spam  
program is set in IMP configuration?

Would it be possible to auto-refresh the message list after marking a  
message as spam, so that the user-selected action ("move message to  
folder") is visible to the user?

Regards,
Jens
