You can only invoke spamassassin using spamassassin -r on single files. This is fine for "mbox" spam mailboxes which are all contained in one file. However, for "maildir" directories, you will need to run spamassassin -r on each message individually. If you are not sure which format you have, look at your mail directory. If you see one or more files and each file contains one or more messages, you have "mbox" format. If you see directories containing files, each file name is a long string of numbers, letters, and punctuation, and each file contains one email message, you have "maildir" format.

Wiki MarkupIf you have "maildir" mailboxes, running _spamassassin -r_ multiple times can be tedious for large numbers of spam. So you can use this \["report_spam.pl"\] script to run it for you. The script is written in perl. You can save the script to your spamassassin computer and then run it using _report_spam.pl your_spam_directory_. Each message in your_spam_directory will then be learned in bayes *and* reported to the checksum services.
