-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm getting about 1000 spams per month, and using Spamassassin to filter them into a folder in KMail called "Spam" (/home/charles/Mail/Spam/cur). I've noticed that the more msgs I have in Spam, the longer it takes KMail to open. FWIW, here is my solution: This is a cron job that runs every night @ 0100: #!/bin/bash cd /home/charles/Mail/Spam/cur if [ `ls | wc -l` -gt 199 ] ; then echo "Current number of msgs in Spam folder is" `ls | wc -l` echo echo "It's time to clean up your Spam folder!" echo echo "Learning from Spam..." sa-learn --spam --dir /home/charles/Mail/Spam/cur/* echo echo "Deleting all msgs in Spam folder..." rm /home/charles/Mail/Spam/cur/* fi Here is the output: [root@moe cur]# /root/bin/sa_learn_spam.cron Current number of msgs in Spam folder is 481 It's time to clean up your Spam folder! Learning from Spam... Learned from 480 message(s) (481 message(s) examined). Deleting all msgs in Spam folder... [root@moe cur]# ls -la total 32 drwxrwxr-x 2 charles charles 28672 Apr 29 06:46 . drwxrwxr-x 5 charles charles 4096 Apr 29 06:12 .. This works nicely, and does not delete the . and .. files. There's no output if the number of spams is less than 200. I also run this cron job twice a month for "Ham": #!/bin/bash for i in inbox Kent Saved Stooges ; do echo "Learning from" $i sa-learn --ham --dir /home/charles/Mail/$i/cur/* echo done Maybe this will help someone else. :-) Fedora Core 1.
