Check Yahoo mail's spam filtering in Mail.app via forwarding
Authored by: enigmamf on Oct 21, '03 01:24:24PM
I use FetchYahoo ( http://fetchyahoo.sourceforge.net/ ) to bring my mail to me. For those who do not want to pay for forwarding, it lets you download the mail via your computer, and then forward it to an email account your mail.app can check, or pass it to a Mail Deliver Agent.

The feature/shortfall is that it only downloads the mail in one mailbox at a time. So, the mail Yahoo delivered to bulk, stays in bulk, unless you want to specifically check it (yeah right!).

Personally, I download my mail to /var/mail/username , delivering it to procmail first to filter out junk and pass it through SpamAssassin and Bogofilter. I then have Mail.app check the pop-server on my own computer. So, by the time I read a message, it has passed 4 spam filters.
