spamd will accept learn requests from spamc using the -L command line
option. This could be a way to run the learning process either via pipe
or via cron on a dropbox. Running it this way prevents a few niggles I
had with sa-learn - locking of the db so that spamd couldn't use it, and
changing of the ownership of the file to the user running sa-learn.
-L learn type, --learntype=type
Send message to spamd for learning. The "learn type" can be
either spam, ham or forget. The exitcode for spamc will be set to 5
if the message was learned, or 6 if it was already learned,
under a condition that a --no-safe-fallback option is selected too.
Note that the "spamd" must run with the "--allow-tell" option
for this to work.
