This should probably be obvious, but I cannot seem to come up with an easy

RH9 machine (accessed via SSH, Webmin, IMAP or POP3).
Procmail sends all mail detected as spam by SA 3.0.0 to a "probably-spam"
file in the user's /home directory. (mbox format)
Since I only have five users I am currently using SSH to cd into their
directory then pico the "probably-spam" file and start scanning. (Awkward to
say the least)
When I decide that the contents of the file is in fact spam, I "rm" then
"touch" the file.
I am sure that this is probably the worst way that there is to do this, but
it is the best that I have come up with.
Any ideas?
I used to look for false positives for my family's mail but now I
*** Let users look for their own false positives ***
and I recommend that you do too! Otherwise you'll go crazy. The
way I look for false positives in my "probably-spam" mailbox is
to 1] set up SA to inject the spam score at the beginning of the
Subject and 2] fire up pine on my probably-spam mailbox and do a
sort by Subject. Usually the false positives bubble to the top of
the sorted-by-spam-score list. I discuss this at the last two
URLs in my sig below.
Hope this helps,
Nancy
