[vps-mail] SA: Using trim_whitelist in VPS environment

[Matt Cohen <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a few users who are running up against disk quota becuase of 
a 15 MB auto-whitelist file in the ~/.spamassassin directory.

I did some brief searches, and came across this script which works 
great by deleting the single-line entries:

http://www.deepnet.cx/~kdeugau/spamtools/trim_whitelist

Unfortunately, it has to be run as the user, which for users that 
don't have shell access, means I have to temporarily give them shell 
access, su to that user, run the script, then remove the shell access 
again.

I know that there were some scripts that I have (written by Scott?) 
that perform SA tasks as the other user, e.g. sa-learn-all:
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
## root should run this as "./sa-learn-all user1 user2 user3"
for $user (@ARGV) {
    $> = getpwnam($user) or next;
    $ENV{HOME} = (getpwuid($>))[7];
    system(q#/usr/local/bin/sa-learn -D --force-expire#);
    $>=$<;
}

----------------------------------------

and so I was hoping I could impose on someone to help me tweak the 
trim_whitelist script to also run as the other user - it is as simple 
as copying the third and last line from the above snippet and adding 
it to the trim_whitelist script?

Thanks,
Matt
