Re: [Dovecot] sa learning from an imap spam folder
This is my approach, stored in /etc/cron.hourly. It's very new, so I'm still testing it.
The goal is to learn HAM massages only if they are a day old, so that I can manually remove SPAM that slipped through. Mails tagged from Spamassassin are sorted automatically into the "Junk.Spam" mailbox and learned after 12 hours. I manually move any missed SPAM into the .Junk mailbox, so I'm sure there are no wrongly tagged messages there, so I can learn those messages as soon as they are found by cron.
/etc/cron.hourly/sa-learn:
#!/bin/sh
umask 022
# Learn HAM messages which were roughly received between 24 and 25 hours
ago
find
/var/vmail/fkware.de/frank.kintrup/Maildir/

what happens if you don't read your mail (vacation, ... etc)?
so I can learn those messages as soon as they are found by cron.
Consider training on errors only.
I personally use 3 folders:
Junk: tagged spam goes here Junk/Trash: confirmed or missed spam goes here (manually). goes to sa-learn --spam. Junk/Error: false positives go here (manually of course:). goes to sa-learn --ham
/etc/cron.hourly/sa-learn:

Dear Frank,

Thank you very much! This was a real help. Just one issue. When I set it as a cron job, it said: sa-learn: not found
I understand it is not producing such an effect in your case? Thank you!

'which' doesn't work if the executable is not in your PATH environment variable. Most flavors of cron (wisely) provide a very limited value for PATH, in some cases just "/bin:/usr/bin" and on some systems /bin is just a symlink to /usr/bin anyway...
If you are using Vixie Cron or a workalike, you can set PATH in your crontab and never have to worry about forgetting to use a full pathname. That can also help protect against running an unexpected version of something on a system where alternative implementations may lurk behind unexpected PATH's.

but not lazy enough to remove the ls and xargs (or do you like pipe rigati :) /usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam /var/mail/folders/ebalaskas/.spam/cur/
but it doesn't take much more to write a script:
#!/bin/sh
learn_spam="/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam" spam_dir=/var/mail/folders/ebalaskas/.spam corpus_dir=${spam_dir}/corpus aux_dir=${spam_dir}/tolearn
mkdir -p ${corpus_dir} mkdir -p ${aux_dir_dir} mv ${spam_dir}/cur/* ${aux_dir}/ ${learn_spam} ${aux_dir} && mv ${aux_dir}/* ${corpus_dir}
Hello,
We offer our users to learn spam/ham by using folders called 'learnham' or 'learnspam'. We currently use a cron job and use find to search through all the folders to find folders called learn-spam and then call sa-learn etc to process each message.
Is there away that dovecot can call a script when a message is moved to a particular folder? It seems to me that this would be more efficient than using find, and would get the messages learnt as soon as they are moved in to the learning folders.
Andrew.

Look into the pipe or antispam w/ "sendmail" backend plugins.
antispam's sendmail plugin can call any program.
