dovecot - Oct 2010 - sdbox-format and sa-learn(spamassassin)

Hello,

is it somehow possible to use sa-learn on sdbox-mailboxes?
Maybe i can use dsync to "mirror" the mailboxes(only the
spam-subfolder)
to another
location and convert it to mbox or maildir and act then on it with sa-learn?

I know the antispam-Plugin, but until now no success, to get it running. 
So I think about
an way, to learn via sa-learn on an file which i can process.

Regards
Ingo

Why not just create a public namespace and give it a location with type
mbox or maildir?  Enable ACL, add all your users.  Create an IMAP folder
in it called SPAM and have all your users put their spam in the shared
public SPAM folder.  When you think about it for a second, does each
user really need their own spam folder?

Now simply point sa-learn at this mbox file or maildir directory.

Use doveadm fetch to extract the mails.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Search has example how to go through all
messages in a mailbox.

Have you considered asking for IMAP  iterator for spamassassin?
[ e.g. based on Net::IMAP::Simple perl module]

It will not be the fast way but it would be optimal long term solution (IMHO).
