Probably easiest to download the tarball from the above source; it will
provide the documentation, which is pretty good.
Spamprobe can be run from procmail, which is I do myself. I know people
do run it in conjunction with other filters but I'm no expert and I know
nothig about IMAP. You could post a query on the spamprobe mailing list
(details in the docs) and Brian Burton will no doubt tell you (I think
he does use IMAP).
I like spamprobe because it's pretty easy to set up and catches most
spam after training with virtually no false positives.
