Our Junk mail system uses the open-source DSPAM to flag junk mail by adding the following headers to e-mail:

For non-flaggged junk:  X-DSPAM-Result: Innocent

For Flagged Junk:  X-DSPAM-Result: Spam

Penelope (like "classic Eudora") should automatically transfer this mail to the Junk folder.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check mail
2.Mail with the "X-DSPAM-Result: Spam" header is put into the "Inbox" (IMAP)

Actual Results:  
Flagged "Junk" mail stays in "Inbox"

Expected Results:  
Flagged Junk mail should be automatically transferred to "Junk" without the need to mark it with Penelope's "As Junk" command

This missing feature will not necessarily preclude us from rolling out Eudora 8, but users of Eudora 6.2.4/7.1 expect this to happen automatically and would be confused if they had to set up a Filter as there seems to be no "header" option in the Filters setup.

For the time being, you'll need to create a filter to look at the X-DSPAM-Result header. To do this, open the filters, click 'New...', then in the match popup menu (the one that defaults to 'Subject') choose 'Customize'. Type 'X-DSPAM-Result' (without the quotes, without the colon) then click the 'Add' button, then OK.

Now, Back in the filters window you should have an 'X-DSPAM-Result' option in the popup menu that you can use for filtering.

Assigning to Thunderbird as this is not unique to Penelope.
