Hi, It's certainly not a fast operation, but using the following will split an mbox into individual messages:
export FILENO=00000 mkdir msgs formail -s sh -c 'cat - >msgs/$FILENO' < mbox-name.mbox I also created a loop that would strip all the SA headers from the messages: for file in *; do echo Processing: $file; spamassassin -d < $file > $file.txt; done This worked for a few hundred of the messages, but then started to fail on my production system with: [22135] warn: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/user/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists How can I tell when another process is using the database and when it is free for my script to use? Is there a faster way to run spamassassin just to strip the SA headers? Maybe there is a faster way, like passing the messages through the running amavisd instead of having to restart spamassassin each time to re-process each message? Thanks, Alex
