SA-Learn, mailbox folder scan

Post #1 of 4 (1028 views)

Hello. After digging a bit through the archives, I still have had
little success in finding out why I cannot do something like this:

sa-learn --spam < 0-SPAMHOLD

0-SPAMHOLD is a folder in my imap account on my server. This allows me
to simply move spam over to it and hopefully run sa-learn later.

However, I noticed that only the first message is being learned and not
the other messages glued into that large text file.

I can run sa-learn, delete the first message in the file and re-run
sa-learn over and over again but that seems a little crazy.

Any suggestions?

Add --mbox if that is in mbox format (i.e. contains more than one message,
each starting with a "From " line).

I believe that should be

sa-learn --spam 0-SPAMHOLD

The SA-learn command requires the file or directory name as a
parameter, not piped in as you are doing.

Um.. redirecting folders is in general impossible... Its a limit of
redirection in general.

however, sa-learn can take a directory name on the command line if you get
the un-needed < out of there and let SA parse the parameter instead of
having your shell parse it. (yes, redirection is handled by your shell...
bash, tcsh, whatever)

sa-learn --spam SPAMHOLD
