Hello,
I currently have a setup on my system with what I call "magic folders" to enable spam filter training. Here's how it works:
1. If you have a false-negative, put the spam into the Spam.Report folder 2. If you have a false-positive (which has all kinds of ugly spamassassin protective markup in it), put the message into the Spam.NotSpam folderCurrently what happens is that a cron job comes along every five minutes and processes the messages in those folders. In the case of the NotSpam folder, it strips the message of the spamassassin markup,
retrains the bayesian net, and redelivers the message (e.g. via deliver). In the case of the Report folder, the message is used to train the bayesian net (among other things) and then deleted.I'd love to be able to trigger these actions when the mail is moved, rather than have a cron job inspecting the mailboxes.
I looked into the antispam plugin (http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/dovecot-antispam), which seems nice but doesn't appear sufficiently generic for my needs. What would really work is if I could get it set up such that putting a message into either of those directories is turned into piping the message to a script of my choosing (a different one for each folder).
Does anyone know a good way of getting my own custom behavior in here, or is my cronjob setup probably the best way?

Hello Kyle,
Have you tried the plugin using the mailtrain backend? Basically it will forward the message, as attachment, to spam/notspam addresses that you define. That includes the use of a %u variable expansion, if you choose to use retrain addresses like like spam-username@domain.com or something. I've been pretty happy with with it and it scales a lot better than piping the message into a retrain command, since the mail system itself will handle the load in a more intelligent way.
