I use a IMAP mailbox names "sa-learn-spam" (and one named
"sa-learn-ham") and have a shell script that is executed by cron:
#/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --spam --mbox $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam
/usr/local/bin/formail -s /usr/local/bin/procmail -m /var/mark_read.rc
< $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam
cat /dev/null > $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam
Unless you lock the mailbox folder, sa-learn-spam could change while the
script
runs. Wouldn't it be safer to move sa-learn-spam off first, something like
Yep, it would. But I'm lazy and the check runs at 4am so it's never
been an issue.
mv $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam.running
touch $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam
I would do
cat $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam > $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam.running
cat /dev/null > $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam
myself, but otherwise....
chmod 600 $HOME/Mail/sa-learn-spam
for one thing, this would not be needed.
