spam
Spam folder per user. Messages marked as SPAM would then be routed to each users spam folder messages would then automatically be purged based on a predetermined length of time i.e. 30 days, 60 days, 90 days This would enable messages inadvertently marked as spam to be accessible by each user, if the user doesn't "look for" the message with in the allowable length of time it would be deleted.
The SPAM folder should be created by default when a new user is created. Purge time would be a global setting

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for sharing your idea with us. MDaemon capable of filtering messages flagged as spam into a users Spam folder. To do this open MDaemon and go to Security / Spam Filter, select the option for “Flag spam but let it continue down the delivery path.” Then under Security / Spam Filter / Settings, check the box for "Move spam into user’s IMAP spam folder automatically.
You can also use the AccountPrune.exe utiltiy to purge messages from all users Spam folder after X days. To do this you’ll need to run the following command:
Accountprune.exe /m /d=2 /p=“Spam.IMAP”
Where d=2 is the number of days before a message is purged.
This command can be ran using Task Scheduler or you can have MDaemon run it by adding it to a midnight.bat file in the MDaemon\app directory.
If you have any questions or would like assistance configuring this, please let our support team know. All of our support options can be found at http://www.altn.com/Support.
Thanks,

Hi Bruce,
You can automatically create the rule to filter messages into the user's spam folder by
going to Security / Spam Filter / Settings, and check the box for "Move spam into user's IMAP spam folder automatically.Thanks,

I am aware of the solution you provided, however that places the spam in the INBOX. Of course you could then create a SPAM folder and a rule to route all messages that contain ***SPAM*** into the SPAM folder but you would have to do these steps for EVERY user which could be tedious and time consuming.
I'm suggesting that this process of creating the SPAM folder and routing ***SPAM*** to it be automated or created when a user is added -
Hi Bruce,
I forgot a step in my initial response. Its been updated now, but I wanted to add the information here as well just in case. In addition to the steps I outlined, you'll also need to go to Security / Spam Filter / Settings, and check the box for "Move spam into user's IMAP spam folder automatically.
Thanks,
