My setup is -
FREEBSD 5.4 SA EXIM CLAMAV filters all incoming mail, once SA & CLAMAV
"clean the mail" it goes to exchange
The imap2mbox DES NT run on the exchange server, I run from my pc as
follows
D:\imap2mbox>imap2mbox.exe "public folders/"
That gives me the mbox I use to train sa-
sa-learn export.mbox
Nevertheless better to have multiple ways to "skin the cat"
I like this method because it does not require me to install anything at all
on either server

Imap2mbox resides on a windows server and only converts the imap format into
an mbox format. Reading the links you provided there is an executable and
external batch files to run on a windows machine. So that would/could be a
solution if your environment is windows only. We are running a linux server
with postfix + amavisd-new with SA and ClamAV to pre-process mail coming into
our Exchange server. The solution I described is an all in one perl script
that runs on the linux server. Imap-sa-learn.pl reads directly from the SPAM
and NSPAM folders on the Exchange server, processes the messages, and
removes them. There are no extra processes that need to be run on the
Exchange server itself.
So -
If you are running linux in front of your Exchange server - my solution
works.
If you are running SA on a windows box - your solution works.

SLW DWN!!!!!! That's sounds like an awful lot when you can just let
imap2mbox do it all.
Imap2mbox does everything for you , except moving the messages to the folder

Your timing is perfect. I just implemented this yesterday!
The script you may be looking for is imap-sa-learn.pl from:
http://www.gagravarr.org/code/
The how-to is here:
%3Ccb
oj9u$qip$1 (AT) sea (DOT) gmane.org%3E
Users then drag (very important they drag the message to the folder to
preserve headers) the messages into the appropriate public folder and are
then processed by the script at the interval you set with a cron job.
To fill in some of the missing blanks
You create 2 new public folders. The how-to called them HAM and SPAM. All
my users know what SPAM is, but explaining the concept of HAM proved futile
for some reason so I just renamed the folder NT-SPAM.
Create a spamassassin user in AD and create an exchange mailbox. No mail is
every sent to/from this user, it is only so the user has access permissions
to the mailboxes.
You may need to add a few perl modules to get this to work. The main one is
Mail::IMAPClient. So just CPAN and then install Mail::IMAPClient
The script is written with -no-rebuild and which is depreciated in
current versions of SA, so just edit the script and change those to -no-sync
and -sync otherwise the script will throw errors when you run it.
Add the script to crontab -e so it runs as often as you like. I run mine
every hour. It automatically grabs each message, processes it with sa-learn,
and then deletes it from the SPAM folder.
If all this is greek, let me know and I will put together something a little
more formal.
This method will not work for WA since you are not allowed to copy from your
mailbox folders to a public folder in WA.

Subject: Train from ?
Tell me something, is there a pluggin for outlook that would allow me to
train spamassassin on the web server?
Eg, messages come in, end up in my Junk Mail folder, can i somehow select
them, and click a button with this 'addin' and have it find our web server
and train spam assassin with the data in my local inbox? That would be a
very cool addon if someone could develop it.
