There's a problem with the updates_spamassassin_org.cf file. It contains:
include updates_spamassassin_org/MIRRORED.BY
include updates_spamassassin_org/languages
include updates_spamassassin_org/triplets.txt
include updates_spamassassin_org/user_prefs.template
The first file does not exist.
Should be fixed now. I forgot to check whether str2time was able to
parse the date that it was given. Can you check one of the messages
that was generating the warning to verify?
Cheers,
Henry

I'd expect that the 700k message corpus will be more prone to errors

Hi Alexander,
Does your implementation respect the additional constraints required by
SpamAssassin? The constraints are as follows:
1. Only nice rules may have scores less than 0.
2. No rule may have a score above 5.
Constraint 1 is required because it must be impossible for a spammer to
add
Most of this stuff is legacy code from the craig-evolve.c days. I
didn't modify logs-to-c's output function. If it ain't broke, don't
fix it.
num_mutable is the number of mutable tests (instead of immutable tests).
Thanks for your attention to detail.

I'm not sure what I'll *need* to make good scores. Last time around, the
results were pants (--reuse was broken), so I don't have much to go on as
far as numbers are concerned.

I was thinking of you when I wrote that. The open research question is:
Can we find all the matches for n regexes in o(n^2+m)? Can we tell
which of the component regexes have matched?

So, any news on the cat-herding front,
I'd have to take this into account when optimising the scores. Then,
since the scores would be optimised for multiple hits, spammers would
only have to reduce the number of hits to evade SpamAssassin.
It's the same reason why we use a Bernoulli event model in Bayes.

Rather than porting SpamAssassin to weblogs, I'm suggesting that we take

Hi Vaishnavi,
I wrote a parser for the 12000 message SpamAssassin public corpus
(http://spamassassin.apache.org/publiccorpus) based on SpamAssassin's
Bayes code. If you would like to use it, you can download both the
parser and a pre-tokenized corpus from

The perceptron won't tell us much about overlap, but I'm sure that I can

my thesis.
