You wouldn't. However, your 3rd party imap provider won't know your
local rules. RPF is a way to communicate your local rules to your 3rd
party imap provider.
I think this kind of public disclosure is a security problem.
Yes, one reason I abandoned my RPF suggestion.
Another way would be for the imap provider to create a web application
allowing you to login and enter your rules.
There are lots of better ways to automate this that don't imply public
disclosure of your personal policies.
And we don't need to lay down how they do it, as long as they realise they
should.
