I know it's been a couple weeks since I asked the question, but I wanted
to thank those of you who responded. I ended up writing a shell script
(example included below). I run it every day in a cron job.
Yeah I know it's not perfect but it's a good place to start. The main
thing was being reminded about grep having not used it for the last 5 or
so years in windows-land. In case anybody's wondering, I have procmail
move suspected spam into spam/probably_spam and then the couple of us
using this computer move our email into spam/definitely_spam when we
clean out that mailbox.
