Re: fetching spam from users junk folder

    Marcus,

    In my original response I forgot to mention that for this, or any
    similar approach, to work, you need to use the misnamed
    "proxyservers" setting in imapd.conf to grant access to an
    administrative user.

           proxyservers: <none>
            A list of users and groups that are allowed  to  proxy  for  other
            users,  separated  by  spaces.   Any  user  listed in this will be
            allowed to login for any other user: use with caution.

    For example:

      proxyservers: adminuser

    Or, alternately, assign rights to the appropriate mailboxes in
    cyradm:

      > sam user.%.Should\ Be\ Spam adminuser all

    Cheers,

        -nic

      Hi,

        I'm looking for an easy way to fetch spams, which were moved
        into a

        special junk subfolder by users in their accounts. I'd like to
        move

        those messages from there to my account, so I can analyse them
        to adjust

        anti spam rules. How would you do that?

        Ciao!

      We've used the attached script (and configuration file) for years
      on many different systems.  The script scans the IMAP mail spool
      for mailboxes matching a name (i.e. "user.yadda.Should Be Spam")
      and runs the sa-learn program for each message.  The same loop
      could be expanded to also search for false positives (i.e.
      "user.yadda.False Spam") as a corrective.

      We based this on earlier work by Nick Burch
      <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.  Feel free to adapt to your
      needs.

      Cheers,
