pipe articles to a shell command just before they expire

pipe articles to a shell command just before they expire

[David Hansen]

Hi,

does someone know how to run a shell command on an article before it
expires?

I want to use it to automaticaly train the bayesian spamassasin
filter.

Regards,

David

I guess you could set the variable group-local with group or topic
parameters.

You can do this, but that's still *one* expiry target.  Let me give an
example:

  My private mails are in one mail group.  At the time they expire
  after some days to another mail group. They will and should *never*
  be deleted.  I would like to run a shell command when they expire to
  the archive group (to report them spamsassain as ham).

Then all i have to do to train SA bayesian filter is to manually move
the mails that sliped through the first tests to another group.

David
