Tool to rescan mbox with SA and retag subject if now spam under updated rules

["Kevin A. McGrail" <KM...@PCCC.com>]

Anyone know if there is a tool or a good solution to rescan an mbox 
format file with any number of emails with SA and change subject/move to 
another file/delete if SA considers spam?

Regards,
KAM

A bit clunky but, assuming you've got your SA/spamd/spamc configured to do
what you want WRT tagging & subject munging, you could:

  formail -Y -s spamc < mbox > mbox-retagged

if you don't use spamd/spamc & have lots of time/CPU:

  formail -Y -s spamassassin  < mbox > mbox-retagged

that would get things re-tagged. You'd then need to use something else to
do the deletion/move. (procmail?)
