Henry Make sure the spam/ham folders are imap folders. Make sure they drag the messages into that folder and not email them as it'll muck up the headers otherwise.
Then grab a perl script (heck here's one below) to get messages from those folders and place into the bayes. Make sure you're running this script as the user mailscanner run's as (mailnull, postfix etc) is not running as root. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Mail::IMAPClient; use Shell; use Env qw(HOME); use Getopt::Long; use File::Temp qw/ tempfile tempdir /; my $imapserver = "myserver.domain.com"; # set to 1 to enable imapclient debugging my $debug = 0; # set to 1 if running under cron (disables output) my $cron = 1; my $filename; my $fh; my %options = ( uid => undef, pwd => undef ); my $cmdsts = GetOptions ("uid=s" => \$options{uid}, "pwd=s" => \$options{pwd}); if (!$options {uid}) { die "[SPAMASSASSIN] uid not set (-uid=username)\n"; } if (!$options {pwd}) { die "[SPAMASSASSIN] pwd not set (-pwd=password)\n"; } my $uid = $options{uid}; my $pwd = $options{pwd}; # login to imap server my $imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new (Server=>$imapserver, User=>$uid, Password=>$pw d, Debug=>$debug) or die "Can't connect to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: $@ $\n"; if ($imap) { my $count; # Deal with spam first learn_mail ($HOME."/spam/", ".spam", "spam", 0, "--spam --showdots"); # Now deal with ham learn_mail ($HOME."/ham/", ".ham", "ham", 0, "--ham --showdots"); } else { die "[SPAMASSASSIN] Unable to logon to IMAP mail account! $options{uid}\n"; } exit; # # read and learn mail from imap server # # arguments # $dir directory to place retrieved messages in # $ext file extension to use on retrieved messages # $folder imap folder name on server # $shared 0 if imap folder is in users mailbox # 1 if imap folder is in shared name space or # $sa_args additional arguments to specify to sa-learn # (e.g. --spam or --ham) # sub learn_mail { my $dir = shift (@_); my $ext = shift (@_); my $folder = shift (@_); my $shared = shift (@_); my $sa_args = shift (@_); my $count = 0; # tidy up directory before run clear_directory ($dir, $ext); # read mail from server $count = read_mail ($dir, $ext, $folder, $shared); if ($count > 0) { # learn about mail sa_learn ($dir, $ext, $sa_args); # tidy up files after sa-learn is called clear_directory ($dir, $ext); } } # # reads mail from an imap folder and saves in a local directory # # arguments # $dir directory to place retrieved messages in # $ext file extension to use on retrieved messages # $folder imap folder name on server # $shared 0 if imap folder is in users mailbox # 1 if imap folder is in shared name space or sub read_mail { my $dir = shift (@_); my $ext = shift (@_); my $folder = shift (@_); my $shared = shift (@_); my $count = 0; my $target = ""; if ($shared) { # use a shared public folder instead my ($prefix, $sep) = @{$imap->namespace->[2][0]} or die "Can't get shared folder namespace or seperator: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $target = $prefix.
