[Dovecot] Antispam plugin / sa-learn

Hello,

Sorry for posting on both list spamassassin and dovecot : my question is
on dovecot antispam plugin, used to learn spamassassin with sa-learn.

I wonder if there is a way to confirme sa-learn is correctly feeded by
the antispam plugin.

dovecot version : 2.1.7
spamassassin version : 3.3.2
 (both packaged in debian stable, with postfix and amavis)

i configured dovecot's antispam plugin this way :
plugin {
  ...
#Antispam
  antispam_debug_target = syslog
  antispam_verbose_debug = 1
  antispam_backend = pipe
  antispam_trash = Trash
  antispam_spam = Junk
  antispam_allow_append_to_spam = no
  antispam_pipe_program = /srv/datadisk01/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh
  antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam
  antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham
}

refering to : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam

using that script to pipe message to sa-learn :

#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/bin/sa-learn $* /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt ;
echo "$$-start ($*)" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log ;
#echo $* > /tmp/sendmail-parms.txt ;
cat<&0 >> /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt ;
/usr/bin/sa-learn $* /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt ;
rm -f /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt ;
echo "$$-end" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log ;
exit 0;

here is what i got when i move a mail to Junk folder :

Sep 11 18:12:04 effraie01 imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend
program parameter 1 --spam

and here is what i got in /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log:

10545-start (--spam)
10545-end

For me, it's working, but when i run sa-learn --backup, i just get
this :

v       3       db_version # this must be the first line!!!
v       0       num_spam
v       0       num_nonspam

it's probably cause i'm using ***STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*** wich
probably teach nothing to sa-learn, but i wonder if i can find somewher
a log or something confirming sa-learn correctly get the email i pipe to
it.

thanks a lot in advance

above script is missing important log information: the current uid and 
$HOME; also sa-learn knows -D

I would change for a testing period:
#!/bin/sh
echo /usr/bin/sa-learn $* /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt ;
echo "$$-start ($*)" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log ;
#echo $* > /tmp/sendmail-parms.txt ;
cat<&0 >> /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt ;
/usr/bin/sa-learn -D $* /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt >/tmp/sa-learn-pipe.$$.tmp
2>&1;
echo $$ sa-learn rc=$? id=$(id) HOME=$HOME >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log
while read line; do
 	echo $$-sa-learn "$line" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log
done < /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.$$.tmp
rm -f /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.$$.tmp
echo "$$-end" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log ;
exit 0;

Read man sa-learn section MIGRATION: "Note that if you have individual
user databases you will have to perform a similar procedure for each
one of them."

sa-learn --backup > backup.txt

backups the database of one particular user, I assume you use root to 
issue the command? But is the antispam learning script above runs as root, 
too?

I assume you need some --username=username and/or --prefspath=file 
setting.
