As an alternative, if you just want to test how spamasssassin will score
them, you might consider just using spamassassin's mass-check tool. This is
going to be VERY fast by comparison to dumping it all back through mailscanner.

The only thing you'll need to do is make sure to copy mailscanner's
spam.assassin.prefs.conf to the user_prefs of the user that's going to
execute mass-check on the mailbox.

mass-check is distributed with spamassassin in the masses/ subdirectory of
the tarball.
