Redundant spam from a single source should not be allowed into the corpus. It can cause "pollution", aka an imbalance between ham and spam. Sometimes spammers do this intentionally - which is why some Bayesian filters don't work well over extended periods of time. Thats one of designs behind the PB. It deters the repetition, and does it early during the connection process (based on the connecting IP address), so it also saves resources. Features that reject without adding to the corpus are to deter pollution from happening, and to help you maintain a healthy corpus. > The example in the GUI shows using the exportextreme.txt file - which is > the default example for the extreme list.

You can if you want. How you decide to import/add/merge them into the file is at your discretion. Warning - *do not* make denySMTPConnectionsFrom <./,DanaInfo=parcel.massbar.org,Port=55555+#denySMTPConnectionsFrom> and exportExtremeFile <./,DanaInfo=parcel.massbar.org,Port=55555+#exportExtremeFile> point to the same file. ASSP cannot handle two functions using the same file. You cannot kill two birds with one stone in this way. You will end up making the function inoperable. (I've tried it a while back, it doesn't work). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
