OK got it working roughly thus:-
1] Generate a passphraseless ssh key on the local machine.
2] Copy the .pub key to all the servers you wish to connect to.
3] Anacron job on local machine run daily -
ssh-add /path/to/passphraseless/key
ssh -A [EMAIL PROTECTED] /path/to/host1-script.sh
ssh-add -d /path/to/passphraseless/key
4] host1-script.sh is -
#!/bin/bash
SPAMSERV="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" #FQDN of host running spamd
LEARNDIR="/home/spamd/learnspam" #dir to hold spam
TARGETDIR=$SPAMSERV:$LEARNDIR
SPAMDIR="/path/to/spam-mailbox/*" #Where my spam is on host1
scp $SPAMDIR $TARGETDIR
ssh $SPAMSERV sa-learn --spam $LEARNDIR
rm $SPAMDIR
exit
Needs some (a lot of) tidying up but works for now and allows me to
filter out false positives before they get assessed by sa-learn.
