dovecot - Jan 2008 - sa learning from an imap spam folder

Hello,

I am sorry if I am writing to a wrong list because honestly I do not
know where to write but I would like to be able to set up sa-learn via
cron to learn from spam folder of a particular email account (via
IMAP).

Can anyone share how to do it? Is dovecot involved in it?
I am using:
Exim 4.69
Dovecot  1.0.10
p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.1

Thanks a lot for helping.

Using crontab and correct cli for sa-learn on users spam folders.

This is my approach, stored in /etc/cron.hourly. It's very new, so I'm
still testing
it. 

The goal is to learn HAM massages only if they are a day old, so that I can
manually
remove SPAM that slipped through. Mails tagged from Spamassassin are sorted
automatically into the "Junk.Spam" mailbox and learned after 12 hours.
I
manually 
move any missed SPAM into the .Junk mailbox, so I'm sure there are no
wrongly 
tagged messages there, so I can learn those messages as soon as they are
found
by cron.

/etc/cron.hourly/sa-learn:



#!/bin/sh
 
umask 022
 
# Learn HAM messages which were roughly received between 24 and 25 hours
ago
find \
  /var/vmail/fkware.de/frank.kintrup/Maildir/ \
