I have spam reporting enabled. What I discovered is that messages
sent through this method are not actually being submitted
correctly. I also found through manual testing, that the parameter
'-C revoke' is not always successful. So I changed the program
line for spamc to use '-L spam' and '-L forget' respectively.
Here's how I tested.
In Horde and logged in as user1, find a message in Inbox to route
through the Spam reporting process. Select it and choose Other
Options->View Source. Copy all the source into a new file named
email.eml on the mail server system.
Log into the mail server system as user1.
Using spamc, manually report the email as spam to the system to
understand the intended behavior.
$ spamc -d localhost -L spam -s 1500000 -u user1 < email.eml
Responds with
Message successfully un/learned
Run the same command a second time.
$ spamc -d localhost -L spam -s 1500000 -u user1 < email.eml
Responds with
Message was already un/learned
Remove the email from spamassassin with
$ spamc -d localhost -L forget -s 1500000 -u user1 < email.eml
Responds with
Message successfully un/learned
Next, let's report the same email using Horde Spam Reporting then
manually test that it was learned.
In Horde, choose the same message from the Inbox and use the Spam
reporting method. Horde handles the spam reporting correctly and
the messsage is moved to an alternative folder as intended. This
works fine.
Let's return to the email server system and manually check that the
email was submitted correctly.
Rerun spamc with the email.eml file. This should respond with a
meesage that this was already learned.
$ spamc -d localhost -L spam -s 1500000 -u user1 < email.eml
Responds with
Message successfully un/learned
It does NOT! Instead this message has now been learned manually.
Horde did not report this correctly.
Here is my backends.local.php file for reference.
<?php
$servers['imap']['disabled'] = true;
$servers['advanced']['disabled'] = false;
$servers['advanced']['name'] = 'Advanced IMAP Server';
$servers['advanced']['hostspec'] = 'localhost';

$servers['advanced']['spam']['spam']['display'] = true;
$servers['advanced']['spam']['spam']['program'] = '/usr/bin/spamc

'Templates';
$servers['advanced']['special_mboxes']['IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_TRASH'] = 'Trash';
$servers['advanced']['autocreate_special'] = true;
Looking at the apache status, it does show that spamc process was
kicked off, but it does not appear that any intended email files
are actually being submitted, unless this is just how the log lines
appear.
