Tony, Thanks for the clarification on this. I recently "re-discovered" Skip's recursive training technique and I am applying this in real time with a customized config .ini and a TOE strategy and am getting *great* results so far.
I've lowered the spam threshold during this initial training on real time mail to 50 because I get over 85% spam. This reduces the number of spams I have to trained until I can get more ham involved. This is the *best* way to train for Outlook users, so if you are interested more in this technique, go here: http://www.entrian.com/sbwiki/SkipsRecursiveTrainingSetSelectionForOutlook Erik Brown -----Original Message----- From: Tony Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 9:34 PM To: Erik Brown Cc: spambayes@python.org Subject: Re: [Spambayes] Setting up an 'fpfnunsure' regime that expired for Outlook? > I am using Outlook and would like to use an 'fpfnunsure' regime that > expired. How would I go about doing this? Are you wanting to use this for testing, or for your actual day-to- day training? If you're wanting this for your day-to-day training, then there's nothing available. The Outlook plug-in keeps things as simple as possible, and is really designed for fpfnunsure only. There hasn't been any evidence (IIRC) that expiring messages is good, so none of the SpamBayes scripts have any support for it. > I know that there is a .py > script specifically for outlook and other testing scripts > (incremental.py, > etc.) but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it.

The export.py script in the Outlook2000 directory will export your mail from Outlook to the testing setup. Then sort+group.py in the testtools directory will split up and rename the mail, readying it for using with the incremental testing setup. Finally, incremental.py will run the incremental testing setup. The incredmental readme explains this in more detail, or ask if you want more help (I suspect this isn't what you're wanting to do, though). There isn't a regime setup for fpfnunsre with expiring, but it'd be easy enough to create one (in regimes.py in the testtools directory) - basically combining the fpfnunsure regime and one of the expire ones. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ Spambayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
