What size are these mailboxes?
Total size of the files? or how many messages in each mbox?
Size of ham is 333 megs
Size of spam is 535 megs.
A bit over 100k messages total
spams:63731 hams:39385 give or take.
My current checks are roughly 40k messages. I use --after '6 months'
on a much larger corpus, but that gets me down to 40k. (On my weekly
net-enabled runs I use --after '1 month')
It takes roughly 3 hours start to finish (including scanning the
corpus and rsyncing), this is on a 2.8 GHz P4 w/ 1GB RAM.
Suggestions:
- Get rid of --all; you could be hitting some giant messages and
burning a lot of CPU.
- Use -j2 since you have 2 processors... might as well use them.
- Trim your corpus, (use --after)
Trouble is most of my corpus is less than 6 months old. Should I try
--after '3 months' ??
Going to get rid of --all too. and use the -j 2 to see if that speeds
things up some.
Here's what I'm trying now:
./mass-check --progress -n -j 2 --after '3 months' \
ham:mbox:/home/masschecker/mail/ham \
spam:mbox:/home/masschecker/mail/spam
