Good script, James.

I have two spam folders, one for spam caught by SA, and another for spam
caught by the pobox.com spam filters.  I then put any false negatives
(spam that's missed by SA) into one of those folders.

Then I run this script occasionally (I could figure out how to cron it,
but haven't done so yet).  The advantage of this script is it works with
the IMAP folders we use on the TriLUG mail server.

===cut here===

#!/bin/sh

cat /dev/null > $HOME/tmp/spam.txt

mailutil appenddelete -verbose \
"{moya.trilug.org/user=jeremy/ssl/novalidate-cert}spam/pobox-spam" \
\#driver.unix/$HOME/tmp/spam.txt

mailutil appenddelete -verbose \
"{moya.trilug.org/user=jeremy/ssl/novalidate-cert}spam/sa-spam" \
\#driver.unix/$HOME/tmp/spam.txt

echo -n "Running sa-learn ... "
sa-learn --spam --mbox $HOME/tmp/spam.txt
echo "done."

===cut here===

mailutil is a program included in the imap-2002a suite of utilities from
uw-imap; I've installed it temporarily in /usr/local/bin on moya.  (We
need to add it to the custom imap RPM packages we're developing on the
mail server.)  My usage of it retrieves the files from the IMAP folder,
saves them to $HOME/tmp/spam.txt, and then deletes them from IMAP
server.

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
