Hello all,
I have a doubt about DSPAMs behaviour when submitting the same message
multiple times for retrain with the same classification.
Scenario:
I'm using dovecot as pop/imap server and there is a nice dspam plugin
for it that allows instant retrain with the simple move of messages
to/from a defined spam folder, while using imap.
All messages (spam+nonspam) are being delivered to the users INBOX,
since the user has the possibility to retrieve the messages using pop.
Messages are being tagged in the headers only, and for users to be able
to separate messages they have configured a filter in their clients.
A possible problem, depending on DSPAMs behavior, is that if a message
gets delivered tagged as spam, the client will filter and throw it in a
spam folder. For pop users that's not a problem. But for imap users, the
message will be moved to the spam folder, where the dovecot plugin acts
as trigger. So, each message delivered as spam, will be dropped in the
users spam folder, making dspam retrain that same message as spam.
Doubt:
Using TestConditionalTraining set to "on", if i continously submit the
same message a SPAM, i can see in the history of the webui the message
entry toggling between SPAM/miss each time i re-submit the message.
Does in fact something change regarding the message classification, i.e.
once classified as SPAM, the re-submition of that same message over and
over will change the way DSPAM sees the message, or is it just the
history that wrongly reflects each re-submition as a SPAM miss?
If this isn't just a bug in the webui, and the situation really changes
the way DSPAM sees the message, shouldn't the use of
TestConditionalTraining prevent that, making DSPAM disregard any retrain
to a classification where the message already is?
