Category: Outlook Group: 1.0.1 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Duplicate Priority: 5 Submitted By: Karl Vollmer (vollmerk) Assigned to: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Summary: Requires Owner on Public Folder to Score Spam Initial Comment: In an attempt to make it easier to train Spam Bayes for all of our customers we created a Public Folder in exchange that contained a large number of known Spam. What we would like to be able to do is when installing Spam Bayes for a new user simply point it at this Public Folder to train for "Bad Messages" unfortuantly we ran into a problem. If the user has read only rights to the Public Folder when you point the Spam Bayes configuration agent at it, it appears to process the messages but then comes back with a "0 Spam Messages Found" If you set the user at a owner on the folder and try again it works perfectly. Unfortuantly setting every single one of our users as a "Owner" really isn't an option (we don't want them deleting messagesf from it etc). It would be nice if Spam Bayes didn't require owner of the folder in order to score spam messages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-12-05 21:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Dupe of: [ 903440 ] Fail to filter public folder http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=903440&group_id=61702&atid=498103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-05-12 13:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 In general, I wouldn't recommend this approach for a number of reasons. The first is that it's really best to only train on mail that you receive - there are clues (addresses, received headers, etc) that will not be correct for each user, and the idea is to train on spam unique to each user. Secondly, this is likely to lead to an imbalanced database (more spam than ham) unless you can be sure that the users will train on similar amounts of ham to start with (and imbalanced databases are a bad idea). Thirdly, generally a small database is usually better than a large one, and this may lead to a large database. See http://entrian.com/sbwiki/TrainingIdeas for more information. If you do decide to do this anyway, it would probably be easier to simply train a database on this mail and give the database files to each user to start with rather than getting them to do the training in Outlook. As for the problem, the owner privileges are required to score messages because the spam field is modified/created. If you turn off writing the spam field (not really a good idea) as described in the configuration guide, this may work. If you train without rescoring the messages, does that work? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1199978&group_id=61702 _______________________________________________ Spambayes-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-bugs
