I have written a small program in Ocaml which I use for that purpose. It extracts emails that was forwarded as attachments and put them in to a separate diretory from where it can be processed. At the moment the directories are hardcoded but I can adapt it for more generic situations there is a need for. If someone is interested, let me know and I will try and make it available.

How do I extract the original mail from the forwarded one?
No idea -- I'm not doing things that way myself. My suggestion was
actually to bounce or resend the FPs and FNs, since it's a lot
simpler. You can just call sa-learn on the bounced messages
themselves rather than extracting the forwarded messages from the
attachments.
If you decide to have your users forward as an attachment, though,
Mail::Box[::Manager] is a Perl module for doing magic with mailboxes.
You'll probably want to do something like this, assuming you're using
Maildir:
my $mgr = Mail::Box::Manager->new();
my $folder = $mgr->open(folder => "/path/to/spam/mailbox",
fix_headers => 1);
foreach my $msg ($folder->messages()) {
magic with $msg->parts()
}
If you're not using Maildir, you'll have to figure out what to do from
there. I know Mail::Box supports MH, Mbox, and who knows what else,
but haven't used those myself.

Instead of forwarding as an attachment, I have my users bounce/redirect/resend their mail, which maintains the message in its original state and is a lot easier to process than messages in attachments. That way, I can just have a cron job go through the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailboxes and have sa-learn learn each message. Otherwise, you'll have to strip the attachments and pipe them into sa-learn, which is a lot less trivial. In that case, Perl's Mail::Box::Manager is your friend.
