 I'm not really sure what you're asking here.  Doing batch processing isn't
 hard with SpamAssassin, do something like:
 
 spamassassin --mbox messages.mbox  messages-out.mbox
 
 If you want to use spamc/spamd, you have to go per message since spamc only
 understands single messages.  Ala:
 
 formail -s spamc  messages.mbox  messages-out.mbox
 
 If you want SA to run over a message, and then have some filtering going on
 (ie: spams to one folder, etc,) you'd have to do some kind of
 formail/procmail thing to break a mailbox apart, process it through SA, then
 filter it.

Sorry Theo, I think I owe you an apology,

Running 'sylpheed-claws-gtk2 --receive --debug'
I realised it was processing by message, not 'by batch'.

Nevertheless your suggestion is worth pursuing - as soon as
I work out why my procmail logs are not working.

Cheers, Adam.
