I've set up spamassassin so that the bayes files are owned by 'nobody' and are centrally located, and spamc is used to report spam or ham to train the filter. I have no problem training the filter by piping a single file at a time into spamc.
The local.cf file contains: bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes bayes_file_mode 0700 Unfortunately, with this setup I have no way of using sa-learn to train the filter, even using sudo to call sa-learn as nobody is a problem because then I need to make sure user nobody can get to the files being trained with. Is there a way, then, to cause spamc to learn from an entire folder without writing a bash for loop to pipe the files in one at a time? If I do cat * | spamc -L spam then I get Message successfully un/learned Which doesn't tell me how many messages were un/learned so I'm not sure that I can pass it a chunk of files that way. Linux FC6 SpamAssassin Client version 3.1.7
