That is not really an answer on my question. ;-)
But it does not seem to be interesting in my situation.
First my code has to grow from:
sa-learn --${typeStr} ${HOME}/Maildir/.SpamDir.${dirStr}/cur/
to:
for i in ${HOME}/Maildir/.SpamDir.${dirStr}/cur/*; do
spamc -L ${typeStr} <${i}
done
Which is not even enough, because I need to take care of the situation
that the directory is empty and I need to implement code to show the
messages delivered by sa-learn.
Which a low level of spam it work, but if it becomes bigger, it does not
work:
date
echo ${echoStr}
sa-learn --${typeStr} ${HOME}/Maildir/.SpamDir.${dirStr}/cur/
date
for i in ${HOME}/Maildir/.SpamDir.${dirStr}/cur/*; do
spamc -L ${typeStr} <${i}
done
echo learned in the new way
date
gives:
za jan 9 16:09:25 CET 2010
Increase
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (45 message(s) examined)
za jan 9 16:09:40 CET 2010
learned in the new way
za jan 9 16:10:00 CET 2010
So sa-learn takes 15 seconds and spamc -L 20 seconds. (And I need more
code. Beside taking care of an empty directory, I also need to implement
the feedback given by sa-learn.)

I'll look into that.

sa-learn --dump magic gives:
0.000 0 3 0 non-token data: bayes db version
0.000 0 57538 0 non-token data: nspam
0.000 0 74876 0 non-token data: nham
