why did you name the folders with the DOT?

That's how the system named them, see attached image. I created the folders through Horde.

Hi,

I remember reading on this forum (or maybe the cpanel.net forums) that you cannot "clear out" messages that you train spamassassin with using the same cron job when the server uses the maildir format (which some surpass servers are being changed to). This is because each email is stored in a separate file (not in one large archive file for each folder as with mailbox format which you could run a "touch" command on). You have to implement an PHP/IMAP script to go through each of the spam/ham folders and select messages of a certain age to delete. Or you just have to delete some messages manually - for instance, I have Thunderbird set up to do this for me.

Hope that helps.

Jonathan

The dot makes it "hidden". It is not part of the name.

It doesn't list a path if I take the dot out. I'm banging my head against a wall here.

delete any value in that box, and enter the number 1.

Second, find the box that says subject_tag.
This is where you enter the 'flag' message that will be put at the beginning of any suspected spams subject line. Enter (without the quotes) "**Possible-Spam**" here.

Third, find the box marked required_hits.
Here you enter the minimum score that a message must have to trigger the flagging you just set up above. Mine is set to 4.5, but initially - to prevent a bunch of false positives, I would set it to 5 or 6.

I'm not sure if I have a different version of SpamAssassin, but I don't have rewrite-subject or subject_tab. And required_hits is required_score. Any suggestions?
