Excellent point, Matt! I have tried a modification based on your suggestion:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Junk]# su -c "sa-learn --forget" pwaldo < ./7128. Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined). [EMAIL PROTECTED] Junk]# su -c "sa-learn --spam" pwaldo < ./7128. Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined). [EMAIL PROTECTED] Junk]# su -c "spamc" pwaldo < ./7128. |grep X-Spam-Status X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.4 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_99, As you can see, the score increased from the previous method, but it is still not categorized as spam. FYI, what I am trying to do is automate learning of spam that I drag to my Junk IMAP folder. Thanks for your help!
