How do I teach Spam Assassin?

[Steve Searle]

Around 07:25pm on Tuesday, March 16, 2004 (UK time), Jonathan Gardner scrawled:

> $ crontab -e
> Add the lines:
> 
> 5 1 * * * sa-learn --ham --mbox /var/spool/mail/<your username>
> 5 2 * * * sa-learn --spam --mbox ~/mail/Junk
> 5 3 * * * sa-leran --ham --mbox ~/mail/archive
> 
> and save the file.

Unless you empty your mailboxes elsewhere, you are repeatedly running the
same mail through sa-learn.

I use crontab to exexute the following script (which I copied from
somewhere on the web.

#!/bin/sh

HAMBOX=$HOME/.mutt/trash
SPAMBOX=$HOME/.mutt/spam

[ -w $HAMBOX ] || exit 1
[ -w $SPAMBOX ] || exit 1

echo Learning ham ...

if sa-learn --mbox --ham $HAMBOX
then
  cat /dev/null > $HAMBOX
fi

echo Learning spam ...

if sa-learn --mbox --spam $SPAMBOX
then
  cat /dev/null > $SPAMBOX
fi

Cheers

Steve
