I wouldn't do this on production domains, as there are a lot of people
who may accidently mistype someones e-mail address. This could
ultimately train your filter to reject legit mail.
It may be a good idea to register a few random string domains and
putting the e-mail addresses in a few web pages, using the entire
domain as a catchall to train the filter.

Thanks Jake - your method works great. It was what I was trying to do, but
wasn't sure how to get it to work with the /new /cur Maildir layout. So I
did the whole "for" loop idea and sent it message by message to sa-learn
then deleted them. So slow...
Anyways, the only thing I changed on your script is added "--no-sync" to the
sa-learn --spam lines. The way it's setup on your page, it resyncs as it
learns, then you resync (again) at the end, so I think that's double the
work? no-sync allows it to skip the syncing 'til the end.
/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam --no-sync /home/vpop .... ld.com/spam/Maildir/new/*
Hope this tweaks performance a bit!
Also, I toyed with the idea of having the catch-all on our domain to send
all that mail to a user named "Spam"'s email inbox, which then gets sent to
sa-learn. This way, spammers who are guessing usernames are actually doing
us a favor! I haven't implemented this yet - I wanted to get other people's
ideas/comments on this first. Anything ?

Ok, I've been looking into using an imap folder on a separate account on my
box that we can throw messages in that should be marked as spam and run a
cron sh job that runs through all the mail in that folder and does the
learn-sa feature on them. But the more I read on how to do this, the more
confusing it got in terms of having our mail in the Maildir format.
The options on spamassassin's site say we need to install archivemail and
have it convert the maildir mail to mbox format then feed those files to
spamassassin.. I really was hoping to not have to have it do so much work -
has anyone found a better way around this?

It works fine as is. I have an old write-up on how to do it all on my site
(http://v2gnu.com/qmail), and I do what you're doing as well. I also have it
delete the messages in the Spam folder after sa-learn has been through them.
Works just fine. No need to do all that extra work. The spamassassin-toaster
package (which is what you're running) was set up to work with the rest of
the package as flawlessly as possible.
