# sb\_upload(1)

Read a message or a mailbox file, upload it to a web server and write it

## NAME

sb\_upload - Read a message or a mailbox file, upload it to a web server and write it

## DESCRIPTION

Read a message or a mailbox file on standard input, upload it to a web server and write it to standard output.

By default, this sends the message to the SpamBayes sb\_server web interface, which will save the message in the 'unknown' cache, ready for you to classify it.  It does not do any training, just saves it ready for you to classify (unless you use the **-t** switch).

usage:  /usr/bin/sb\_upload \[-h\] \[-n\] \[-s server\] \[-p port\] \[-r N\]

-

  \[-o section:option:value\] \[-t (ham\|spam)\]

**-h**, **--help**    - print help and exit

**-n**, **--null**    - suppress writing to standard output (default False)

**-s**, **--server=** - provide alternate web server (default localhost)

**-p**, **--port=**   - provide alternate server port (default 8880)

**-r**, **--prob=**   - feed the message to the trainer w/ prob N \[0.0...1.0\]

**-t**, **--train=**  - train the message (pass either 'ham' or 'spam')

**-o**, **--option=** - set \[section, option\] in the options database to value
