Squashing Spam on Mobile Devices

Arne Hess wrote an interesting technique for stopping spam messages on a mobile device. The gist of it is:

1. The user's E-Mail address is for example: user@providerxyz.de. In future, all E-Mails that are sent to this address will be forwarded on straight from the mail server at provider xyz (user mailbox 1) to the user's eXpurgate account user@Spamfence.net.
2. There the E-Mails are checked to see if they contain Spam and receives an additional mail header in this process, which reports the results of the examination and classifies the E-Mails as, for example, clear, suspicious or definitely Spam.
3. eXpurgate then sends the E-Mails to the user's second E-Mail address (e.g. user@providerabc.de or E-Mail2@providerxyz.de). The user can then access his mails as normal from his second mailbox at provider abc or xyz (user mailbox 2).
