I have been using SpamAssassin for a year or so, and couldnt
get along without it.
Still, I keep seeing writeups of Spamassassin where they say
that it is 99+% efficient at recognizing spam, at least now
that it has the Baysian filtering in it...
Well, thats not the case here, it does recognize on the order
of 300 messages a day (thank you, thank you), but probably
misses on the order of another 75-100.
So thats more like 75-80% not 99+%.
Now the Baysian Filtering is up (I think) and primed.
the dcc stuff is up...
But HOW DO I TELL IF THESE THINGS ARE REALLY WORKING?
Is there any way to get any statistics out of SpamAssassin?
I do see comments about the dcc stuff in the maillog on occasion,
mostly complaints about not being able to get to a specific site,
but it would be nice
to know if the Baysian stuff is working at all,
or if it (SpamAssassin)
was having long term problems getting to dcc sites.
I dont see any 'flags' for any statistics, am I missing something?
Even a script to grep the 'tossed' messages (I save them for a few
days) would be acceptable, but at the moment SpamAssassin is a great
be black box,- it seems to work, but it could be having real problems
and I wouldnt have a clue.
Well, thats longer than I wanted the message to be, but...
