[spambayes-dev] Windows implementation using Command line (for SpamBayes)

[Rob McEwen]

RE: Windows implementation using Command line (for SpamBayes)

Is there an implementation for SpamBayes for Windows as a Command line
Utility?

For example, some anti-virus programs (like McAfee VirusScan, F-Prot
Antivirus for DOS, Grisoft AVG, etc.) can be invoked in a separate process,
fed the path to the text file of the message to be process, return an "exit
code" based on the results of scanning that message file. (or, possibly, add
the appropriate header to the message). Also, training could be done by
occasionally passing this command line tool a known-good "ham" folder and/or
a known-bad "spam" folder.

Couldn't this same concept could be applied to spambayes?

(Remember, I'm specifically looking for something that will do this in
Windows.)

Also, it is my understanding that PROCMAIL is ONLY available on the Unix
platform?? (If so, another way to solve this problem might be to find a 3rd
party app which emulates PROCMAIL in windows?? ...but this sounds
far-fetched to me!)

Finally, could this be done as a windows service so that the program doesn't
have to initialize and die with each individual request?

Any suggestions are appreciated!
