Hello all,
I receive a lot of spam (1 each 2-3 min that pass SpamAssasin checks)
and I've trained SpamBayes with 6253 spam and 1764 ham and it correctly
identify (only) around 80% of spam. However, it act in a weird way,
because looks like it completely skip to check some (5%) mails (no
header is added at all or I even saw one with just the
X-Spambayes-MailId added).
Another problem is that I want the ones with probability > 0.7 to be
classified as spam as they are all spam and I didn't saw any option to
fine tune this. Also the scoring/evidence is low for common words like
'buying': 0.35; and would be nice to let the user act in someway to
modify the scoring for some words.
Another mystery is why thunderbird filter on X-Spambayes-Classification
"contains" "spam" miss some emails that has been correctly tagged as
such and unfortunately I can't set the filter to X-Spambayes-Probability
> 0.7 because with custom header filters there is no option to check
for numbers like is possible for the dimension...
I can try with sb_filter/procmail but I haven't tried yet because of my
fairly complicated qmail+vpopmail setup and first SB should give
reliable result already with the imap filter and I was wondering why
there is no option with sb_imapfilter to actually take an action after
the email has been classified (like delete/move etc). This looks very
logic to me to be the job of a filter... why this should happens down
the line relying to the (poor) email client features? Very few webmail,
for example, has options to classify on custom headers. I would like
your opinion about this.
My test has been made with spambayes-1.1_alpha3 available trough
gentoo-portage don't know if the alpha4 has some important bug fix for
my problems.
thanks for any advice...
Eli
