It seems to me the best way to fix the script for large amounts of work
it to create a function in the shell script like this...
function larger_mv ()
{ while read line1; do
md5sum directory/$line1 >> ~/md5sums
ls -l directory/$line1 >> ~/backup_list
mv directory/$line1 ../directory2
done
}
ls -1 directory/ | larger_mv
Example 3b demonstrates how you easily can get an md5sum and a backup
listing of each file before moving it.
Unfortunately, since this method also requires that each file be dealt
with individually, it will involve a delay similar to that of Method #2.
>From experience I have found that Method #2 is a little faster than the
function given in Example 3a, so Method #3 should be used only in cases
where the extra functionality is required.

Eric,
Thanks for the quick script
it threw this error..
cleanspam.sh: line 14: /bin/ls: Argument list too long
Is there a command that we can run to just delete these without pumping
them into sa-learn....
Thanks
Q

That script really should be fixed. In the meantime, this should work:
(substitute <mydomain> appropriately)
for maildir in `ls -d /home/vpopmail/domains/<mydomain>/*/Maildir`; do
shopt -s extglob
for spamfile in `find $maildir/+(cur|new)/* 2>/dev/null`; do
sudo -u vpopmail -H sa-learn --$learnas $spamfile
rc=$?
if [ $? != "0" ]; then
echo "sa-learn failed, rc=$rc, spamfile=$spamfile"
exit $rc
fi
rm $spamfile
done
done
Please report back your result.

'temp-spam' or something and move half of the messages there
temporarily. Run the script. After completion move them back and run
again. Hopefully it will complete successfully.
