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.

Rather than modify the script, just create a temp imap folder...
'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.

any insight on how to modify the script? I do not know scripting
all that well and don't want to botch things
Thanks

Hello all,
When I try to run the qtp-clean-spam script it comes back with an
error message that finds argument list is too long. Can anyone point
in a direction as to how to clear this up.
You have too many messages in one folder - you can either break the
messages up into 2 directories and learn them that way, or modify the
script to use another find command to pipe the output to the sa-learn
command.
