sendmail teaching procedure
When the setup is finished our mail relays need to be "taught" some manners :P... this is the way:
If we use RFC 2822 mail-queue messages we symply send them to sa-lern thusly:
This way though getting the mail back to the customer without letting him/her know proved to be quite a pain... so we switch to df/qf mail messages which resulted in a different process:
1. Get the ham in a directory called 20090101 lets say
2 Use Julian's script to make the qf/df into mbox files:
3. Make spammassassin learn the messages as ham
4. And finally send the email without the client knowing a thing :)
Thats it :)

sa-learn -p /etc/mail/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --progress --ham /dir/with/spam/*

cd /var/spool/notspam/ (where the 20090101 dir is)df2mbox * (this will create the spam.number file we need)

sa-learn -p /etc/mail/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --progress --ham --mbox spam.20090101

/usr/lib/sendmail -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/notspam/20100103 -OTimeout.queuereturn=51d -OTimeout.queuewarn=0 -q -v
Thats it :)
