[SC-Help] Re: Reporting Spam via Cyrus

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I have had setup a series of scripts that handled reporting of spam via 
different macros - for Spamcop, the reports are sent as MIME attachments.

Now that I have a different folder format, I need to come up with a 
better way to streamline this.   It's a good opportunity to combine some 
of the other mechanisms that I'd been doing separately, like Razor2 
reporting, et al.

The format of a Cyrus file is not exactly mbox - and I believe sa-learn 
had a problem with it (I'm using the latest SpamAssassin).

So I figured I'd ask here to get some ideas before going completely 
blind ;-)


Thanks.
