Hi,

I've attached the two scripts that I use to automate this process (both are
modifications of the work of others). The first script, exatt, is a little
Perl script that extracts attachments from Email messages. The second
script, learn_spam, does the actual learning and clean-up.  

I place the exatt script in the /usr/local/bin directory. The learn_spam
script can either be executed manually or as a cron job. You will need to
modify the DOMAIN_MATCH and SPAM_MSGS_DIR to match your environment.

Please note that Outlook 2003 seems to have lost its "Forward as attachment"
feature. This must be enabled under tools->options, preferences tab, E-mail
options button. Change the "When forwarding an attachment" configuration to
be "Attach original message". 

Please let me know if there are any problems with the scripts, as I only
started using them about a week ago.

Regards,
Tim

It will work. You'll have to have your users forward the messages to 
your spam account as attachments. Then, set up Outlook Express or 
something, and set up the spam account on it. when your users send you 
messages, drag the attachment into a mail folder (ie: Spam). Then run 
the sa-learn script on those messages.
