Re: how to run SA3.0.1 on a existing mailbox
Bill, This does not move spam into a new file. In fact, it moves all into a new file. I want to be able to move ONLY SPAM or ONLY HAM into a new file. thanks Andrew - Original Message - From: William Stearns [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Andrew Xiang [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jim Maul [EMAIL PROTECTED]; ML-spamassassin-talk users@spamassassin.apache.org; William Stearns [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 12:40 PM Subject: Re: how to run SA3.0.1 on a existing mailbox Good day, Andrew, On Wed, 8 Dec 2004, Andrew Xiang wrote: But I have a whole mbox with 10,000 messages.

Re: how to run SA3.0.1 on a existing mailbox
It seem to copy all the emails into the temp file. It does not remove spam from the mbox. The purpose is to remove all the spams inside mailbox. -Andrew - Original Message - From: William Stearns [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Andrew Xiang [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jim Maul [EMAIL PROTECTED]; ML-spamassassin-talk users@spamassassin.apache.org; William Stearns [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 12:40 PM Subject: Re: how to run SA3.0.1 on a existing mailbox Good day, Andrew, On Wed, 8 Dec 2004, Andrew Xiang wrote: But I have a whole mbox with 10,000 messages.
