THANKS..

yes. I just re-logged in to cPanel and went to File Manager and at the current folder "/" (root), there is a folder called "script" (all lowercase, singular). In that folder is one file "learnspam" (all lowercase, no visible filename extension in cPanel) 0 k 0644

When I show the file "learnspam" it displays this:

learnspam
File Type: Bourne shell script text executable
_________________________________________________
#!/bin/sh
echo "Learning SPAM"
for FILE in `find $HOME -name SPAM -print`
do
echo "Processing $FILE"
sa-learn --spam --mbox $FILE
done

echo "Learning HAM"
for FILE in `find $HOME -name HAM -print`
do
echo "Processing $FILE"
sa-learn --ham --mbox $FILE
rm $FILE
touch $FILE
done
echo "Done"





---------------------------

Note that my latest error message said "permission denied".

I don't know how to set permissions and have not done anything in that regard.

thanks

kdanieli

yes....(see above) and it's still not working

Bigjohn

The folder needs different permissions...
755 for the folder. And because the folder is in the ROOT area, try 744 for the script file.

I had no idea what permissions were...but poked around and did it. Worked like a charm. 744 is the golden ticket. Thanks.

kdanieli

After I got confirmation emails that it had worked, I went into one of my accounts and checked the HAM and SPAM folders.

From reading parts of this thread, I expected that the emails would still be in SPAM but that HAM would be empty. Instead I found that emails were still in both SPAM and HAM.

Should I have expected that HAM would be emptied by the script? Thanks

Bigjohn

could be related to the fact that when the files were moved there the permissions were wrong.

I moved emails to folders in Squirrel Mail. Are the emails files?

Bigjohn

Yep.

First, did your "scan" report mail say stuff like:

Learned tokens from 8 message(s) (701 message(s) examined)

If so, then it's scanning properly.

Mail is stored in the .mail folder, typically, or using Mbox....but if yours worked as described here, it's probably .mail.

I don't think the first or any scan ever reported "Learned tokens from x message(s)...." etc.

I believe that all of the ones that ran reported the same thing:

"Learning SPAM
Learning HAM
Done"


And the SPAM folders have not been purged.

Is that wrong? thanks
