Ok, with recent discussion on the list I've gotten somewhat confused by this issue.

What I thought happens is that sa-learn can recognize an email message that contains a message/rfc822 attached message, and learn from that attached message, hence the reason you should forward a spam message to it using that method. I had kinda gotten the impression from documention and list discussion a ways back that it automatically handles pulling out the attached message (although I can't find the documentation that made me think that now).

However, recent list discussion has made me wonder if that's really true. Do I need to be doing something before the message gets piped to sa-learn to pull the attachment out so it's seperate? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions for exactly how to do that?

My current setup is using SA 2.54. Users can send spam to an strap account, with a procmail file that looks like:
:0c: spamassassin.lock
| /usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam --single


:0:
learned-spam

Users at my site use either eudora (which of course has no good way to feed sa-learn, which is unfortunate, because it's the predominate client here), or squirrelmail, which has the ability to forward an attached message. I just have this vague feeling I'm doing this completely wrong.
