online spam checker or PHP spam remover wanted

When I'm travelling and reading my mail with a PDA, I have the problem
that a lot of spam is accumulated in my inbox. (Normally the junk
filter of firexfox is handling this on my PC).

So I would like to have a service which logs into my IMAP account,
checks the mails and moves spam into a spam folder.

Alternatively, a PHP program doing this would also be fine. I could
trigger it via WAP.

Does this already exist?

(I do not like solutions where I have to forward my mail to the
service.)

Can't you let firefox on your desktop PC perform this function ?

Either scheduled (Bios can start your PC automatically once a
day, Windows can switch it off) or triggered (WOL, WOR)

I have never tried it with imap. Firefox normally fetches my mail with
POP3 and removes them from the server. But using it with firefox could
be a solution.
Nevertheless I would prefer to do it without starting my PC every day.

Does your IMAP service provider offer server-side spam detection
and filtering? If so, set up *server-side* filters to deliver the
the probably-spam messages to a 'MaybeSpam' IMAP mailbox. Then,
when you are using your PDA, just look at your INBOX but when you
are at home look at your INBOX as well as your MaybeSpam and any
other non-essential mailboxes (e.g., mailing lists). I just wrote
about this in my blog in this item:

Using a MaybeSpam Mailbox


Hope this helps,

No :-(

Re: online spam checker or PHP spam remover wanted

I found the following:


http://imapfilter.hellug.gr/
Sounds good, but uses a strange programming language...


http://www.rogerbinns.com/isbg/
This one exactly implemented what I whas looking for. But only in
python. I would like to have it in php or perl.
