HI.
I'm currently using Mimedefang 2.52 with SA 3.0.4 .
So far I have used SA rules and network tests without Bayes,
and now I'm starting to use Bayes also.
The bayes database (along with AWL) is at:
/home/defang/.spamassassin
I have already started using bayes by adding the following to sa-mimedefang:
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.5
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 8.0
All seems to work fine and I have no problem with that (but you can tell
me if you have any tips).
I also have a corpus of manually sorted spam and ham messages that I
have collected and will like to use sa-learn with them.
The corpus is in specific mail folders on my Cyrus-imap server (single
message per file).
All of these messages have headers added by MD, such as:
X-Spam-Score: ...
X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang ...
Some of the messages (false positive) also have a SpamAssassinReport.txt
attached to them that was added by MD.
Those messages are in a separate corpus (mail folder) so I can start by
learning only from messages that don't have that attachment.
I have read the sa-learn man pages and perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin:Conf,
and found the option:
bayes_ignore_header
But I'm not sure where (in which file) should I use it, because I run
sa-learn outside of the scope of MD,
so sa-mimedefang isn't probably the right place for it.
So my questions are:
* How should I tell sa-learn which headers to ignore?
* Can I tell sa-learn to ignore the attachment SpamAssassinReport.txt ,
or can you suggest a script to easily remove that specific attachment?
Thanks for any tips,
