Greetings all...

What's the real difference between corpus and inoculation in the
--source options?

I know I'm not very smart, but I couldn't understand the explanation
below from the README file:

Corpus:
The message being presented is from a mail corpus, and should be
trained as a new message, rather than re-trained based on a
signature.  The message's full headers and body will be analyzed and
the correct classification will be incremented, without its
opposite being decremented.

You should use corpus only when feeding messages in from corpus, not
for correcting errors.



Inoculation:
The message being presented is in pristine form, and should
be trained as an inoculation.  Inoculations are a more
intense mode of training designed to cause DSPAM to
train the user's metadata repeatedly on previously unknown
tokens, in an attepmt to vaccinate the user from future
messages similar to the one being presented.
You should use inoculation only on honeypots and the like.

Cheers
