You're welcome, but I would like to note that I resurrected the
mailing lists - the sanitizer itself has never gone away.

The way I have it set up is that each user has a spamassassin-inbox
folder, where middle-scoring messages (spam score 5 - 10) get
delivered. High-scoring messages (score > 10) are immediately
discarded, low-scoring messages (score < 5) go to their inbox.

Each user also has spamassassin-spam and spamassassin-ham mail
folders, from which sa-learn is updated automatically every night.

Every user has the responsibility of reviewing their own
spamassassin-inbox and moving the messages either to their
spamassassin-spam folder for training if it is indeed spam, or placing
a copy of false positives in the spamassassin-ham folder for training
and their own inbox for real use.

Any spams that get through to their inbox, they have the
responsibility of putting into their spamassassin-spam folder for
training.

Trust me, you do *not* want to be a manual part of the process.

I have a cron script for this if it would help.

  The first time I saw a bagpipe, I thought the player was torturing
  an octopus. I was amazed they could scream so loudly.
