Setting up a filter for sa-learn --spam

[Erik Wickstrom <er...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to setup an email address where I can redirect false
negatives to so they will be learned as spam by Bayes without me
having to login to the shell.

This is what I have so far, but it doesn't seem to work. (note I am
using cPanel with exim)  Right now I am using a forwarder, but I can
also setup a cPanel/exim filter if that is a better way to go.

spam@mydomain.com =>  | sa-learn --spam 

Why isn't it working?  (NOTE: I can't use the procmail script located
on the SA website because procmail doesn't really get along with
exim....).

Does anyone have any other solutions for this?  I think it would be
great if SA put something in the header that you could click and have
a webpage open up and retrain your Bayes on that message, but until
that happens - workarounds are the way to go... :-)

Thanks!
Erik

you have to be careful doing this.  It'll learn your new headers from your
forwarding as spam.

Your problem may be pathing.  My sa-learn is in /usr/local/bin, which is
not in my default path when my startup scripts run.  Try "|
/path/to/sa-learn --spam".
