I'm hoping that somebody here has done what I'm attempting to do. My users use a web-mail front end for reading email. There is an option to Mark-As-Spam which moves the message into a SPAM folder and removes it from their current folder. Very easy to train even the most inexperienced users to do this!
The tricky part comes when training Spam Assassin. I'd like a nightly script to run for every user without the need for a cron job for every single user. This ideal single script would train Spam Assassin as if it were each user in turn and sync their personal database. Something like this pseudo-script: for each user in /home sa-learn --ham the-ham-folder sa-learn --spam the-spam-folder sa-learn --sync next user It seems so simple but I'm having all kinds of trouble getting sa-learn to understand that I'm changing users and databases. I've tried using 'sudo' and 'sa-learn' with limited success. I've also tried Mail::SpamAssassin but I can't get it to spit back anything. Instead I get messages like this: "Can't call method "dump_bayes_db" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line 538." All suggestions are appreciated. Here's the technical info if you'd like: Debian Woody SpamAssassin version 3.0.4 Exim version 3.35 MailScanner version 4.40.11 Thanks!
