I’m new to this list and just go started using SpamAssassin a few weeks ago. I’m currently not set up to use the Bayesian portion. I’m on a windows system and wanted to start off slow. Plus, I don’t quite understand the logic, though I’m there is some. It seems that most critical part of the Bayesian portion if for users to communicate (some how) to the engine false negatives and positives. Is this correct? It seems without that salearn would mark urls of spams that get through as possibly good urls.
Which leads me to my major question. I’ve downloaded most of the rule files from the Rules Emporium, but even with those rules, 1 out of every 2 or 3 spams still gets through. Is this normal?
