Public folder as a POP account: is it feasable?
I am wondering if a public folder can be accessed as a standard pop account.
The purpose would be to let users receiving spam mails (which would not have been tagged as spam ) to drag and drop them to a PF.
A scheduled task (crontab in Unix world) would connect to the PF, download them in a unix mailbox and would be used as spam feeders to a unix antispam platform (spamassassin).
We are running, E2K and E5.5 in a mixed mode. PF would be created on E2K (or on E5.5 and replicated with ADC to E2K).
Users use OL2000 on PCs or any IMAP compatible mail client on *nu*x

I know I can send a mail to a PF. The goal is to access its content from a unix machine using POP protocol to download the content to a unix mailbox. There is no OL involved in recovering mails from the PF
I cant forward them using a scripting agent to a unix mailbox as the smtp header will be modified and would change the spamasassin learning process.
