If the new script runs as root, does each user still need shell access??

I am not sure, but I presume not - perhaps you can try it?

I got the time to install the script last night and set up a LearnAsSpam folder for a user without Shell access. The Cron job ran and worked great. The spam  for the user without shell was processed. This is a nice improvement for some of us that  need things simple.

I spoke too quickly. It looks like the script needs shell for each user to perform the LearnAsSpam folder delete function.

I have just started to look into the script only and ran into that (deletion) problem as well. I changed it for root to do the delete command like this:

# Now delete the file after learning
#my $delete = su - $key -c "rm -f $filetolearn";
my $delete = su - root -c "rm -f $filetolearn";

The cron-job rus as root, so the delete-command could be:

my $delete = rm -f $filetolearn;

I like the feature !

ok, have editted in curley's suggestion, the script no longer uses sudo, so does not need shell access for the users.

Also uploaded "sa-update" which runs the new for SA 3.1.3 online rule update program.  Have been running it for about 10 days with no problems, Note that  it does not run under SME6 - there are clearly some perl libraries missing.

Any comments?

Thanks for the sa-update Brian.

I note that you actually need to run it twice. The first time it fails due to an invalid verification key but downloads the correct key.

second time it works like a charm.
