The trouble appears to me to be that sa-learn has no concept of

those
messages?
SA does know about mail it already learned. However, for various
reasons
it is *not* based on the file name. An obvious reason would be support
for mbox format.
Yes, but that is a different flag --mbox.
:) And auto-learning before the mail has been passed
on to the MDA. Then there's the problem that even with Maildir format,
file names (think flags) are not guaranteed to remain static...
The last few characters will change, but I don't think the rest of the
name changes. That is, the mail file named
"1241641613.40384_0.mail.covisp.net:2," is always going to be named
that, with maybe one or two additional characters after the ,, no
matter where I move it. the first part is the epoch time followed by
5 random characters
To determine if a mail already has been learned, SA needs to have a
look
at the mail.
Mightn't it be helpful if it could keep a cache of filenames?
I suppose I could do something like:
find $HOME/Maildir/.SPAM/{cur,new} -type f -ctime -1 -exec /usr/
local/
bin/sa-learn --spam {} \;
Something like that, yes. It definitely makes sense to 'find' the
messages delivered since the last sa-learn run. That line however is
*way* too inefficient, spawning an sa-learn Perl process for each
message.
Ah, yes. good point.
find $HOME/Maildir/.SPAM/{cur,new} -type f -ctime -1 -exec mv {} /tmp/
$USER/.junk
