I'm successfully using fetchmail, procmail, and bogofilter as my user,
but I'm looking to set it up system-wide and have some questions.
I'm running an IMAP server with accounts for several family members.
I'd like to scan for spam and file the spam in a "spam" folder for each
user.
My personal .procmailrc contains this:
:0fw
| /usr/bin/bogofilter -uep
:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Spam, tests=bogofilter
spam
I guess I'm not sure how to specify that each user has their own "spam"
folder. Any tips or links to how-to's are welcome.

Does your fetchmail run as a daemon?
I set fetchmail to run from each user's crontab. Thus, each user feeds
their own mail to postfix/spamassassin and then into maildrop
automagically in each user's Maildir.

Currently I only use fetchmail for my user, and I run it as a daemon.
My plan is to run system-wide fetchmail for all users, also as a daemon.

That's an option for me, I guess, since I only have a few users. But is
that how admins with hundreds of users do it?

Virtual users with messages stored in databases like MySQL.
