9/19 I have filtered my mailbox with
formail -s spamassassin < mailbox > mailbox.filtered
Next how do I process the mailbox.filtered file with my procmail
ruleset to get it to sort the messages based on the SpamAssassin
score?
\_ Something with formail and procmail itself, I'd imagine.
\_ Use spamc instead of running spamassassin; it's much faster (it
uses the persistent running spamassassin daemon on soda).
\_ you can use mutt, "tag" all messages flagged as spam,
"save all tagged messages" to a folder. I am too lazy
to look up the exact keystrokes to do this right now.
I don't know what all these mh losers are talking about.
\_ oh! mh losers! I'm struck to the quick! You don't know what
the mh using uber cool rock stars are talking about because
you're using a toy to deal with your mail. MH users don't have
to say, "oh! its easy but I'm too lazy to look it up!" because
there's nothing to look up. All the mh tools work the same and
were designed from day 1 to work with each other as a total mail
handling package. Maybe you'll make better choices in your next
life. I wish you well.
\_ where do you live? I want to have sex with you.
\_ I wouldn't want to be unfaithful to yermom. Best wishes.
\_ soda's mutt has sa-score sort/reverse-sort capabilities.
use (o)rder or reverse-(O)rder interactively, or see
~jwang/.muttrc for useful folder-hooks.
\_ Thanks, I'll check that out but right now I want to
\_ Thanks, I'll check that out but right now I wasn to
delete or move stuff flagged as spam to a spam folder.
I need to do this to 1000+ messages so I dont want to
use mutt.
\_ Um. Mutt's plenty fast. I routinely do operations on

thousands of messages.
\_ Real Men(c) use mh. Once you've used the real thing, you'll
never go back.
\_ Right, cuz you'll be so fucking frustrated that you'll
never log in again.
\_ Hmmm... yeah. The core commands you need to know:
next: shows you the next messsage
prev: show you the previous message
show: shows you the current message
repl: replies to current message
forw: forwards current message
Yeah, this is hard. To quote yermom, "Unix is hard!
Let's go shopping!" Although for dunderheads like
yourself, there are pretty little GUI frontends so
\_ don't forget comp
you don't have to worry your pretty little head with
all those self descriptive 4 letter commands.
\_ don't forget comp
\_ oh yeah, forgot. Knowing how to compose an email
is probably a good idea.
\_ If it's that simple, Real Men(c) have no business
using it.
\_ We're Powerful(c), not stupid. MH is easy *and*
powerful *and* flexible since all the tools follow
the unix philosophy of chaining tools that each
do one thing and do it well without bloat.
do one thing and do it well without bloat.
\_ Technically, you seem pretty sharp...pop
culturally, you're a freaking moron.
Although....that's not such a bad trade-off.
\_ Pop culturally? Ok, I'll bite. How so?
\_ Can someone answer my question! How do I send a
mailbox marked up my SpamAssassin through my
procmail sorting rules? -OP
\_ We're in a mail program flame war. Since they
all integrate with procmail that's not very
interesting, is it? In mh you'd do something
like:
refile `pick -subject SPAM +inbox` +spamfolder
This assumes you've allowed spamassassin to
rewrite your subject lines. Normally, you'd not
need to do this because you'd sort from procmail
after spamassassin has done it's job in an
earlier procmail recipe. Another mh convert is
born... welcome to the fold.
\- I dont want to have my mail spool exploded
into different message and then have to repack
them.
\_ Why would you repack your mailspool? The
idea is to get away from the dangerous
and difficult to manage one-file mailspool.
You shouldn't *want* a mailspool file. But
if you really must, just snarf each message
in a loop (I suggest perl) and simply pipe
it through procmail. I don't know wtf psb
is trying to tell you to do down below.

\_ No, it just doesn't make sense to
run your mbox through that mess
when there are already perfectly
good tools and APIs available. I
can read your code. I just wouldnt
do something that insane. --tall
\- i'd either use mailagent or flex but there
use mutt.
all those self descriptive 4 letter commands.
is sort of a klugy way by doing something
like this:
( echo 'set screen=10000' ; echo 'h 1-$' ; echo x ) |
mail -f mbox.spamc | grep SPAM | awk '{print $1}' |
(tr or sed ... something to just keep the numbers)
and then run the command again but pass the list of
message numbers to "echo d <>" | mail ... you will
have to do something sane with newlines.
the details depended on mailrc settings and which
mail program. but the approach generalizes.--psb |
