Hi Evaggelos,
I use the same command ( via cron ) but my maildir folder with spam is
more than 50.000 emails !!! so ...
I had the same issue and I solved it with a little bash script. The
trick is to use the xargs function to break up the spam list in smaller
blocks (I also restrict spam processing to spam older than $TIME_LIMIT
in order to let time to user remove non-spam, and ignore filename ending
with T as they have already been removed). Relevant lines :
find ./ -iname "*" -mtime +$TIME_LIMIT -print | grep -v T\$ >
$TEMP_FILE_NAME
cat $TEMP_FILE_NAME | xargs -r -n500 sa-learn --showdots --spam -C
$SA_CONF_DIR
Cheers,
Denis
but my question wasnt about spamassassin (wrong mail list :) )
but with alternative mailbox format (like dbox) in dovecot 1.0.x

I have never seen sa-learn giving me any problems while learning spam
from maildirs (often with tens of thousands messages).
Simple:
sa-learn --progress --spam new
does the thing, with previously prepared maildir with messages
classified as spam.
