A few months ago I sent a bug report about the spam-inc script
failing to move spam to the spam folder if there were more than
998 spam messages being inc'd at once (because refile/rmm/etc
choke when they get more than 998 messages.)
Being a lameass who has forgotten any sh scripting skills I had
before, I then proceeded to not fix it... until coming back from a
net-less vacation (yes, some crufty SIPB members can live without net
access for a week+ of downtime in Europe.. ;) and realizing a fix would
be useful.
So, I asked bert for help and he proposed the fix in
/mit/abbe/Public/spam-inc:
< refile "+$SPAMFOLDER" spams;
---
>
> ## Plain "refile" fails if there are more than 998 messages!
> #refile "+$SPAMFOLDER" spams; # <-- this may break
> SPAM_MSGS=`pick spams 2>/dev/null | head -990`
> while [ -n "$SPAM_MSGS" ]; do
> refile "+$SPAMFOLDER" $SPAM_MSGS
> SPAM_MSGS=`pick spams 2>/dev/null | head -990`
> done
>
This fix worked for me on my 14000 new messages, not clear how much less
efficient it is (if any) and has not been thoroughly tested.
Please feel free to code review it and post an update to the sipb locker.
