Hello list -
I apologise if this question has been answered before; I briefly
searched the archives and Googled a lot, and didn't find anything that
fully answered my question, but it's quite possible I missed the "magic"
keyword in my search.

I'll begin by describing what I want to set up, and then detail what I
have running currently.

I want to set up a central email address for my users to forward spam to
([EMAIL PROTECTED] for example).  I would like to have that address be fed to
a script that runs sa-learn on the message, but not as root:  I want
sa-learn to be run on behalf of the user who forwarded the message. 
That's what has been my sticking point so far.

A little history: I run SA in my office on my IMAP system and with the
ongoing training of the Bayes system, SA is 97% effective in catching
junk (roughly 3 of every 100 junk mails squeak through, and are promptly
moved into my "Junk - Undetected" folder on the IMAP server).  I get
close to 100 spams per day (sheesh).

The rub: The ISP users don't have IMAP access (too storage intensive for
a little country ISP).  Plus we don't want responsibility for that much
user data from a backup etc. perspective.

The current setup at the ISP:
Sendmail 8.2.9
Procmail
SpamAssassin 2.55

I have a number of other scripts that run from /etc/aliasas that work
delightfully, but none of them (at least that I wrote) parse for the
From: address.  Additionally, I'm a php programmer, not a perl
programmer (more by practice/ default than by any religious preference)
and it seems silly to introduce a php script into a Perl package
(although I could and probably will if I can't come up with a better
answer).

My hope (of course) is that someone else has done what I'm trying to do
and will therefore save me some work!

Thanks in advance!

Rubin
