way cool - this is what I ultimately worked out - not entirely sure that
it works but no one is complaining... This has the good/bad effect of
cleaning out the 'spam' & 'ham' folders just because I figger users
don't want to bother with them again.

if nothing else...my shell scripting is getting better (note the
portability with the variables...) ( > file... live and learn)

# cat /root/scripts/spam
#!/bin/sh
LEARN="/usr/bin/sa-learn"
HOME_FOLDER="/home/users"
MAIL="mail"
USERS="/root/scripts/users-spam-check"
SHELL="/bin/sh"
SPAM="SPAM-learn"
HAM="SPAM-not"

for i in `cat $USERS`; \
do su - $i -s $SHELL -c "$LEARN --mbox --spam
$HOME_FOLDER/$i/$MAIL/$SPAM"; \
su - $i -s $SHELL -c "$LEARN --mbox --ham $HOME_FOLDER/$i/$MAIL/$HAM"; \
cat /dev/null > $HOME_FOLDER/$i/$MAIL/$SPAM; \
cat /dev/null > $HOME_FOLDER/$i/$MAIL/$HAM; \
done
