sa-learn using event notifications

[Arnaldo Viegas de Lima]

Ah… we use different meaning for the “SPAM” folder! For me it’s where I place mail that was wrongly classified as HAM. Mail classified as SPAM go to the “quarantine” folder (that get’s purged by Cyrus after X days).

You are talking about moving files out of “quarantine” and using a notification to trigger the retraining. That’s indeed a nice idea! 

I see a 2 ways to handle it:

- Enqueue for later processing
- Make notifyd pass the job to another process (like a daemon)

The problem with any of this methods (really with any solution based on notifications that is not completely handled in the notification processing) is that the use may further move the message.

One option is to make a copy of the message to another (reserved) folder. I may be wrong, but my guess is that Cyrus will just link the messages, so it can be quick. If not I guess it can be linked during the notification processing. Need to check.

Arnaldo.
