I would try looking at the spam clues for a good email. It almost sounds as if you have been training SpamBayes the wrong way around. If you see a keyword like: 'from:addr:personwhosenttheemail', and if the #ham for this is zero and #spam is more than one, then you have been training it the wrong way.
Other possibilities are: a) you have not trained SpamBayes on enough emails. I suggest going to SpamBayes Manager->Training, and re-doing the training, selecting some substantial folders with good save email, and, if you have any folders containing only spam, use them in the training. Rebuild the training database. Then you should be able to immediately go to a good email and get the spam clues for the email. Also, you can put a column in your outlook that gives the spam score for each email. If it doesn't show up for certain emails, this is because somehow SpamBayes is not filtering this folder. I suspect you have set your filter parameters improperly. I find that concluding things are junk suspects at 15%, and junk certain at 75% is better. Remember, it is not the goal to minimize the number of emails in the junk suspects folder, it is simply to limit the junk suspects to those emails that SpamBayes really needs to be trained on. Then you train it, and then the volume in the junk suspects folder drops. Setting junk suspects to 45% will put a lot of spam into your inbox. Also, a narrow difference of 45-68 for the junk suspects folder will not properly identify the emails that SpamBayes needs to be trained on. There will be very few emails in junk suspects, but you will be getting good emails in spam certain (68 is a little low for the spam certain folder), and you will be getting lots of spam in your inbox.

I set a score of 68 to be known spam and 45 to be placed in the junk suspects folder. I also used the recover from Spam so that SpamBAyes learns but all POP3 internal mail is ending up in the junk email folder instead. Any suggestions wouls be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/SpamBayes-v1.04-Windows-tf2816539.html#a7860935 Sent from the Python - spambayes mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
