Hi I know i might get flamed for asking this in the dovecot mailing list instead of the spamassassin one but i thought someone might be kind enough to help anyway.

TIA

I'm trying to do site-wide spam filtering with a public namespace but it's not reading the folder i have in the public namespace

This is the public namespace set in my dovecot.conf

#public spam folder namespace public { separator = / prefix = Filter/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/Spam/Maildir/ hidden = no }

There's also a .Spam and .Non-spam folder created in that directory

server:/home/vmail/domains/Spam/Maildir# ls -al total 32 drwxrwxrwx 7 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-09 10:35 . drwxrwxrwx 3 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-05 13:23 .. drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-09 10:35 cur drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-09 10:35 new drwxrwxrwx 5 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-09 11:20 .Non-Spam drwxrwxrwx 5 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-09 11:19 .Spam -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 14 2007-10-08 11:58 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-10-09 10:35 tmp

I'm trying to use this script to login and get the spam from the public spam folders and send it to spamassassin to learn I've highlighted the important parts There are 13 messages in Spam There are 5 messages in Non-Spam

Here's the script:
