Hi,
Dunno what to say about this, fact is that there was a time (more or less
the whole last year) during which I have almost never received any spam on
my account on csd. Now the spam is back again. So it looks like the spam
filter has been tricked again. Also there are lots of spam messages in
which the spam content is inside an image. As I can see csd is using
spamassasin 2.55

Hello all,
I started to get increasingly annoyed by certain spam mails getting through
my previous 2.63 version of Spamassassin, mainly because the Bayes filter
didn't bite any more, so I had this weird idea about upgrading my
two-year-old thing with a brand new one. So I did. After some slight
annoyances of downloading a few modules from CPAN and installing them (no
problems, just some work) I got the new thing up and running smoothly.
The only problems is that I see no improvement. In particular, the Bayes
filtering remains as misled as it was previously, possibly even worse. So I
decided to remove the bayes_* files from the respective directory to start it
all over again. I fed sa-learn utility with 1000 mails of ham and spam, and
hoped for good. And no, I didn't get the flags wrong, neither did I mix the
messages. Honestly.
But still I have the Bayes filter declaring very typical spam messages
(gambling words, drugs etc) as BAYES_00, which means "surely ham". Not to
mention those mails in which the name of the drugs are in capitalized letters
with spaces between them, and then a paragraph with "normal text".
I'm pretty close to giving up the Bayes filter, and let Razor2 do the job
instead. Before I do that, does anyone here have a comment to make on this?
Are spam messages becoming smarter with Bayes filters, or...?
Thanks,
Eli
