OT Trying to setup a inbox for autolearning

[Tony Enderby]

Try this,

perl expire_mail.pl -a0 -z /var/spool/mail/spam

or

perl expire_mail.pl -a0 -z -d /var/spool/mail/spam

to run in debug mode and get output to console (doesn't delete any mail)

I get an error when running it as the user (spam) = non-root
Expire_mail: unable to create temporary file for /var/spool/mail/spam

I looked at the file and changed a few of the options, like postmaster
address.

I do not get the error when running it as root:
./expire_mail.pl -u spam -a 1

However no mail is deleted out of the spam inbox.  What is wrong with my
syntax?
