I added /* to the end of the dir paths but that didn't change anything. The mails do have a somewhat weird naming convention. They were used on imap so a sample filename would be something like this.
1214839027.5368_1.servername:2, However it was a problem with it scanning that type of filename I would think it wouldn't still scan 4 messages. I would think it would scan zero messages if it was a naming problem with the messages. -- Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 3:56 PM To: RN-Chris Cc: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: Mass-check not scanning all messages. if ham and spam are directories containing mboxes, you might be better off with this: $WORKINGDIR/mass-check --progress --all --showdots \ ham:mbox:/var/home/c/h/chris/spamcorpus/custom/ham/* \ spam:mbox:/var/home/c/h/chris/spamcorpus/custom/spam/* I usually use ham:detect:/path/to/dir and then call mbox files "foo.mbox". --j.
