RE: SPAM & HAM Reporting Suggestions

As a follow-up here is the handy spam / ham processing script that I created:

-----------------------------------------------

echo "Processing SPAM..."

sa-learn --spam --showdots --file
/var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/spam/*@*

echo "Deleting processed SPAM..."

rm -rf /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/spam/*

echo "Cleaning up Mailbox..."

touch /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/spam/__lock__
touch /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/spam/__cache__

chown mta:mail /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/spam/*
chmod 600 /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/spam/*

echo "Processing HAM..."

sa-learn --spam --showdots --file
/var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/ham/*@*

echo "Deleting processed HAM..."

rm -rf /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/ham/*

echo "Cleaning up Mailbox..."

touch /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/ham/__lock__
touch /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/ham/__cache__

chown mta:mail /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/ham/*
chmod 600 /var/spool/mailbox/177/sa_learn/ham/*

-------------------------------------

I created a sa-learn account in PO and a IMAP account in my e-mail client.  I 
just drag and drop my spam and ham to the appropriate
folders and I have cron running this script every night.

The script does the following:

 - runs sa-learn
 - deletes the processed message(s)
 - recreates the cache and lock files with the proper permissions

You will need to check the appropriate mailbox number on your system when you 
create your learning account.

Any tweaks or suggestions are welcomed.
