Subject: SpamBayes with Pine, or other spam filtering with Pine

Is there a way to get SpamBayes to work with Pine?

I run Pine on a Mac OS X machine.  This machine is not the incoming mail
server.  My incoming mail server is used by a large number of people at
my institution, and I have no control over it.

I do not wish to turn my Mac OS X machine into an incoming mail server.
(This wouild be too risky, the local sysadmin tells me.)

Under these circumstances is there a way to get SpamBayes to filter my
mail?

Thanks for any info

Jacob,

  In recent versions of Pine there is a "categorizer" command. Press M S R 
F, this will help you set up a filter.

  A filter is a mechanism that allows you to decide what to do with a 
message (e.g. delete it automatically, move it to a folder)

  The idea is to define conditions that set the filter to do its action. 
One of the conditions of the filter may be set up by a categorizer like 
SpamBayes. You will need to do a lot of reading to understand how it all 
works, but everything is under the filters screen.

  I also have some information about filters and categorizers in my web 
page. If you would like to read it (after you read the help in Pine), take 
a look at the following link:

  I hope this helps you a little bit.
