Hi Jason, I do this manually, but we are a small outfit and I don't process all that much SPAM (or HAM).
I simply open up my SPAM public folder with mutt, review the messages' subjects to make sure no one goofed when they put in the SPAM public folder, then tag it and save it to an mbox. To open it up in mutt I use: mutt -F ~/.muttrc_spam -f= Where .muttrc_spam looks like: set folder="imaps://<exchange server>/public folders/spam" set imap_user=<password> set imap_pass=<username> Once I have saved the messages to an mbox, it's a simple sa-learn command to suck them in: sa-learn --spam --mbox <path and name of mbox> Hopefully, that made sense...

You need a spam and ham folder on the ms-exch box that can be accessed via imap. Then there are many perl scripts etc you can run on the mailscanner gateway machine that will grab the email and feed it into sa-learn. NB users need to move not copy emails for training otherwise it breaks the message headers etc.. -- Martin Hepworth Snr Systems Administrator Solid State Logic Tel: +44 (0)1865 842300 > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Holbrook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 20 November 2007 04:40 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; users@spamassassin.apache.org > Cc: Josh Sindy > Subject: Re: HAM in Outlook to SA Learn > > Michael: > Thank you for your response.
