Hello all, I am new to the list. I have used spambayes for a long time and have been very happy with the results. I originally ran it on Slackware with Sendmail/Procmail on mbox style folders. In this setup each mail user was a real user.
Currently I have changed the setup and now use Debian with Postfix/Maildrop on maildir style folders. I have virtual users in this setup. I have a vmail user which controls all the email for the virtual users. I am still using spambayes for the spam filtering. Even on the new system I have a seperate Maildrop file for each virtual user and it filters using his own spambayes db file. When I moved all the users to the new system I converted the mail from mbox -> maildir and copied the spambayes db file to the new system. When an email comes through it is being filtered because some spam goes to spam some goes to unsure and a LOT to inbox. :) I am not able to figure out why so much email comes into the Inbox now. What I have noticed is that when I run the "sb_mboxtrain.py -d /home/vmail/.spambayes/user.db -g /home/vmail/user/cur -s /home/vmail/user/.spam/cur" it goes through and reads all the emails Training ham (/home/vmail/dhaval/cur): Reading as MH mailbox Trained 666 out of 666 messages Training spam (/home/vmail/dhaval/.spam/cur): Reading as MH mailbox Trained 1231 out of 1231 messages But the problem is that the size of the db file still stays the same (the timestamp is updated). I have noticed that in the past, it has always become larger. Currently after training a brand new db file (12288 bytes) with the 666 good messages and 1231 spam messages, I get a db file that is only 2600960 bytes. I though that it was the spambayes package which came with debian so I removed it and downloaded the package from http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ and installed it but I still get the same results. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can go about troubleshooting this please let me know. Thanks, Dhaval _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
