man this is so much easier. For those using maildrop here is how to do it.
SPAMLEARN = 25
/^X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=![:digit:]+\.?[:digit:]*/
if ($MATCH2>$SPAMLEARN)
{
xfilter "sa-learn --spam"
to "/dev/null"
}
my whole filter does way more but I simplified it for others to see. I have
the ability to either save it before deleteing and also to send an email with
the salearn output to the mailbox. and a bunch of other stuff.
anybody that would like to see my .mailfilter let me know.
