This might work for you.
But I for example use a shared imap account as a public folder for people in the company to share common emails.
The other day, I thought of a possibility to add two folders to this shared account (for SPAM/HAM emails) to learn spamassassin from these folders.
It works.
The only thing you need is:
- Folders in a shared IMAP account for spam and ham emails (e.g. "SPAM_not_detected" and "SPAM_false_positive")
- A script which learns from these emails and deletes them afterwards.
- A launcher script and a plist file for it to start regularly.
Here it comes.
Save the following file to /usr/local/bin/train-spamassassin:
#!/bin/sh
# Script to Train Spamassassin SPAM/HAM emails in certain folders
# USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
################################################################################
# SETUP
# Set to mail user which hold the spam/ham folders
MAIL_USER=exampleuser
# Folder for not detected Spams (relative)
SPAM_MAILDIR="SPAM_not_detected"
# Folder for not false positive copies (relative)
FALSE_POSITIVE_MAILDIR="SPAM_false_positive"
# Email address to send status email to. You need to enable mail sending below.
EMAILADDR=you@anything.xxxx

##) | /usr/bin/mail -s "$HOSTNAME Spamassassin Training status" $EMAILADDR
Save this script as /usr/local/bin/train-spamassassin-runner:
#!/bin/sh
# run train-spamassassin. Needed for launchd
/usr/local/bin/train-spamassassin
stat=$?
if [ $stat = 0 ]; then
# everything is ok
syslog -s -l NOTICE "$0: train-spamassassin signaled success"
exit 0
else
syslog -s -l NOTICE "$0: train-spamassassin signaled error $stat"
exit $stat
fi
And of course a launchd plist file to start the script regularly.
Save this content to /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.roosbertl.spamassassinlearn.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><!-- Start spamassassin sa-learn script every day at 6:3324/03/10 Atomic.--><dict><key>Label</key><string>org.roosbertl.spamassassinlearn</string><key>UserName</key><string>root</string><key>ProgramArguments</key><array><string>/usr/local/bin/train-spamassassin-runner</string></array><key>RunAtLoad</key><true/><key>StartCalendarInterval</key><array><dict><key>Hour</key><integer>6</integer><key>Minute</key><integer>0</integer></dict><dict><key>Hour</key><integer>12</integer><key>Minute</key><integer>0</integer></dict><dict><key>Hour</key><integer>18</integer><key>Minute</key><integer>0</integer></dict></array></dict></plist>
Then activate the start of the script:
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.roosbertl.spamassassinlearn.plist
Now your users just have to move spam/ham email to the corresponding shared imap folders.
