Aha. Yes. I was right. DSPAM 3.6.8. Have you considered updating your DSPAM
setup? 3.8.0 at least. DSPAM 3.6.8 does not offer you much to improve your
situation you currently are facing.
Can 3.8.0 be used in production? I was thinking of moving directly to
3.9.0, but I'm unsure about the stability.... Users are already
calling and complaining about ham ending up in the spamboxes :)
Hi Sven,
There's been about 200 commits to the source since Dspam 3.8.0 was
released (over two years ago). The Dspam devel team are highly focused
on releasing 3.9.0 within the next few months, but you can check out and
build the latest code from GIT today. Many of us are running the latest
code on our own production servers, with currently MySQL+Postfix being
the most tested setup. You'll probably find more enthusiastic support
for the the latest code over 3.6.8.
But, Paul, do you really believe that a newer version of dspam will
solve his problems? I remember getting 99.x% accuracy even with 3.68. It
seems to me that the problem is with the way they're sporadically
retraining, not with a particular dspam version. IMHO, If they don't
change their methodology, their accuracy is not going to improve much.
I was addressing 3.9.x stability. If your thinking of moving from 3.6.8
to 3.8.0, IMO you should forget 3.8.0 and either a) wait for new release
(a few months) or b) upgrade now to snapshot. I can't see the point of
spending time upgrading to 3.8.0 when we know we've made over 200
improvements on that relaese - no one on this list is going to be
enthusiastic about answering questions on 3.8.0 because a lot of that
has been fixed - its old news. IMO 3.9.x is less buggy then 3.8.0.
You are correct then Sven needs to re-think retaining. The latest code
isn't going to cure the problem but might make things a bit better, esp.
as some improvements to MySQL driver, much better handling of HTML email
and all round general bug fixes.
Kind regards
