I'm using qmail, procmail and bogofilter on a linux machine with
maildir style folders. I have a single folder that contains about 3000
spam messages. I'd like create a cron job that runs once a day, that
forwards all spam(individually) received yesterday to a specified
address. I'm not sure which tools to use or the wording for exactly
what I want to do. Your tips, help is appreciated.

Not sure why you would want to forward spam, but if you do.
shell script
#!/bin/sh
dir=spamdir
find $dir -name '*' | while read a; do
[ -f $a ] && cat $a | sendmail -oi -fyouremailaddress
address_to_which_the_message_is_sent.
done
sendmail references the sendmail provided in the qmail bin directory.

what about the yesterday requirement? it neds to only forward spam
that was received the day before the current day.

add -mtime 0 to the find command. This will look for messages arrived
exactly 24 hours ago. You would need to run the cron every one/five
minutes to make sure that all messages are forwarded.
It depends on how the messages are stored, you could add a move of the
file to a separate directory when done at which point the mtime will be
+0 older then one day. In this case you can run the cron job once a day.
#!/bin/sh
dir=spamdir
backup=processed_dir
find $dir -name -mtime +0 '*' | while read a; do
if [ -f $a ]; then
cat $a | sendmail -oi \
-fyouremailaddress_address_to_which_the_message_is_sent
mv $a $backup/
else
echo "do something else"
fi
the \ above is used to make sure that the cat command is a single
contigous line

Oops,
It seems that the sendmail settings got one item messed up.
#!/bin/sh
dir=spamdir
backup=processed_dir
find $dir -name -mtime +0 '*' | while read a; do
if [ -f $a ]; then
cat $a | sendmail -oi \
-fyouremailaddress address_to_which_the_message_is_sent
mv $a $backup/
else
echo "do something else"
fi

an text attachment and not as the actual message. Any ideas?

Yes, take your spam and SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!
This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that
your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages.
The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.
To open this message correctly you will need to install E-mail or Usenet
software that supports modern Internet standards.

Please ignore Beavis. He has been dropped on his head, as a child. As a
result, his diaper is always full when he posts to Usenet.

You can use formail -I "" and formail -x "" to extract the body and
header respectively and assign their data into a variable. ( I think I
have the correct mix, double check to make sure)
You would then need to use the proper context for a MIME attachment.
This makes it somewhat complicated as you would have to determine the
content length and reflect it in the header of your outgoing mail.
You might be better of using a perl script with an appropriate module to
extract the data in the email and then generate the email to your DBL list.
