Adam,
Yup, that's pretty cool.  You may be able to accomplish the same thing this way:

- new folder learnspam
- new folder learnham
   - move incoming mail to folder according to spam/ham

- on your *nix box setup a crontab to run every 4 hours
   - 0 */4 * * *  /usr/local/bin/salearn.sh

- in salearn.sh, put the following

#!/bin/bash

DIR="/var/spool/mail/"

Learn()
{
    username="$1"  # the users mailbox to scan
    school="$2"    # type of learning to do
    email="$3"     # who to email when done

    # loop through all "learn" new, cur and tmp dirs in : /var/spool/mail/$username/
    for f in `find $DIR/$username -name '.learn'"$school" -type d`; do
       #echo "learning spam in $f"
       l1=`sa-learn --$school "$f/new/*"`
       l2=`sa-learn --$school "$f/cur/*"`
       l3=`sa-learn --$school "$f/tmp/*"`
       NOW=`date +%D" "%T`
	
       # creaate an email message
       printf "$school learned from account %s\n---------------\nmails in new:%s\nmails in cur:%s\nmails in tmp:%s" "$username" "$l1" "$l2" "$l3" | mailx -s "$school learned for $NOW" "$email"

       #echo "cleaning up learn* mail box"
       # remove echo and double quotes to actually do anything
       echo "/bin/rm -rf $f/new/*"
       echo "/bin/rm -rf $f/cur/*"
       echo "/bin/rm -rf $f/tmp/*"
    done
}


# pass the account and...
#      the type of learning to do - also the directory name so must be either 'ham' or 'spam'
#      where to send the email
#
Learn 'testuser' 'spam' 'user1 at domain.com'
Learn 'testuser' 'ham' 'user1 at domain.com'
