Greetings.

First of all, please don't yell "SpamAssassin" on my ears. I know it's a wonderful tool, but I really wanna reinvent some wheels and dig some concepts on this :)

I want to develop a tool that checks some POP3 accounts and based on user defined filters classify incoming e-mails (something like "Friend" or "Foe", "valid" or "spam").

After classification, my soon-to-be-born tool should be able to delete the e-mails marked by the user.

So, in a preliminary look into some modules on ActiveState's PPM I've found some that I would like to hear your opinions:

email-address 1.2
mail-box 2.054
mail-pop3client 2.15
mail-sendeasy 1.2
mail-sender 0.8.10
mail-sendmail 0.79
mail-rfc822-address 0.3

Has any of you wise monks have experienced some of the modules above? Am I missing some module that I sould be aware of?

Can anyone give me some tips over these subjects?

TIA,

my ($author_nickname, $author_email) = ("DaWolf","erabbott\@terra.com.br") if ($author_name eq "Er Galvão Abbott");
