Mark, This sounds great; thanks for posting the script. One question: does this method preserve the message headers? I've had a lot of problems keeping the headers intact with Exchange 2000/Public Folders/IMAP.

I've written a simple Perl script to pull all the ham/spam off of an Exchange 2000 server via IMAP and run sa-learn on them. Basically, users drag/drop spam and ham to a shared Public Folder and this script connects via IMAP and pulls those down to sequential files in a directory. Finally, sa-learn is run against those in --dir mode. I have two scripts, pullspam and pullham, that only differ in the directory where they pull the ham/spam and the Public Folder path. The pullham script is included below. It requires Mail::IMAPClient module from CPAN. Although I've used it against an Exchange 2000 server, I don't see why one couldn't modify it for another IMAP implementation. I've used this on my Exchange server for about 2 months now and it works great. Note the locations where you will need to change things... ------- cut here -------- #!/usr/bin/perl use Mail::IMAPClient; use Sys::Syslog; # You may need to change the Public Folders path to suit your server my $FOLDER_NAME = 'Public Folders/Spam Filter Teaching/Ham'; my $SEQ = 1; openlog('pullham','cons,pid', 'user'); my $server = Mail::IMAPClient->new( Server => "<exchange server hostname/IP>", User => "<user ID to authenticate with IMAP>", Password => "<Password>", Uid => 1, Debug => 0 ); $server->select($FOLDER_NAME); my @msgs = $server->search("ALL"); foreach my $msg (@msgs) { $server->message_to_file("/var/spam/ham/" . $SEQ,$msg); $server->delete_message($msg); $SEQ++; }; $server->expunge($FOLDER_NAME); print "Pulled ". ($SEQ-1) . " messages from ham folder.\n"; syslog('mail|info', 'Pulled '.($SEQ-1) . ' messages from ham folder.'); -------- that's all -------- -----Original Message----- From: Marek Dohojda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 3:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SAtalk] Public folders, IMAP Hello everyone I hope this questions hasn't been asked before. If so, me sorry :) As most of you know Outlook doesn't forward headers when you forward an e-mail (and with newer Outlook 2002+, you can't even resend with headers intact). Therefore Outlook is a bad tool in traning SA. Unfortuantely I don't have a choice, Outlook and exchange is a must for me. Therefore I have an idea, of allowing users to put their spam in a public folder. Then a text IMAP client would grab this and put it in a folder on the SA server. Then just do the sa-learn and bingo.. Spam learn. My question is.. Has anybody tried this? If so what tools worked for you. I am looking for a text based IMAP client that can see into public folders, and transfer files within it. Thank you!!
