sb_imapfilter

hi,

i am using sb_imapfilter.py to train messages of imap
mailboxes.
filtering is done via procmail and sb_filter.
but there's a problem when calling "sb_imapfilter.py
-t". often it does
not work, especially when called the first time,
where 'first time' is not meant as the first time ever
called for that
user, only the last time called was a day or so before.
when called the second time right after the first
unseccessful call, it
seems to be always seccessful.
as i run it with cron, it should be reliable.

the filtering itself works vey good and i like spambayes, so
i dont want
to use something else.
the imap server is a cyrus on the same machine with suse
linux 9.3 x86_64.

here is what i do:

testuserlinux-server:~> sb_imapfilter.py -t
