I have written my own spam filter using Perl and am curious if there is a way to plug it into Panther's Mail app to act as a 2nd filter layer. The default filter is good, but it lets some things pass that I would like to avoid. Therefore, with my own filter I could have more control.

Thank you

Not sure how you would do this specifically, but you might want to check out:

Popfile

I haven't used it since upgrading to Panther.... (Mail's spam filtering has been much improved for me.) ... but it's written in Perl. You can even contribute to the project if you want.
