Any way to process lots of messages in webmail with SpamAssassin?
Hi! I searched the forums but I had no luck on this one.
I adquired a couple vps where SpamAssassin wasn't auto-deleting spam. So, webmail folders are crowded with spam.
Is there any command line or script to run and make SpamAssassin scan those particular mail accounts to auto-delete its contained spam?
Thanks in advance!

Hello :) It won't scan messages that have already been delivered, but you could develop a bash script that searches for specific content within an email and removes any messages that match the search term. Thank you. 0 -
ok, that's bad news. well, thanks, I had the hope to automagically been able to run some bash script that make SA scan a delete all those msgs with certain score. Maybe a find command with awk to detect the string "Score: " and evaluate the value and act accordingly? 0 -

Yes, this is one option that you may find helpful. Note that you likely want to move the messages to another location for a set time period before removing them in-case customers complain of the removal of legitimate email. Thank you.0 -
I know, I should try piping results to dir command rather than rm until I got it perfectly ok :) And then, I should move the message files to the spam folder. I think I need some senior help here. I built the command to read the Scores, but I don't know how to eval them if the value is, let's say, bigger than 5 (for X-Spam-Score: 5 and upper). grep -nr "X-Spam-Score: " /home/accountname/mail/.email@domain_com/new | cut -d':' -f4
Not sure how to evaluate values from the command line. Is it possible?0 -
