Hi Michael,

Yes, but that's totally out of the scope of both Horde and this  
discussion: There is a spam action wanted by the user - moving the  
message to the declared spam folder. Unless the admin sets  
"$conf['spam']['reporting'] = true;", the user won't have any ui  
option of marking the message as spam.

Just as some background information: There is an actual technical  
system behind this processing these messages, but not on the server  
where Horde is run.

Unless you change your mind and follow my proposal, I opt for warning  
the admin that you believe the configuration contains an error -  
neither email address nor external action set. That way the admin will  
notice and can work around this design limit.

Regards,
Jens
