Michael,
For me, the
quickest way to get Bayes going is with auto_learn. (NOTE: you have to
have your other rules working pretty well for this to be effective.) I
use:
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam
0.0
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam
12.0
bayes_auto_learn
1
Emails
scoring below zero (mostly outbound or whitelisted mail) are learned as
ham; emails scoring over 12 are learned as spam. On our gateway (10,000
messages per day) I can re-train Bayes from scratch in an hour or so.
Then I feed it any false negatives to learn as spam, and any false positives
with high Bayes scores as ham. The latter case is pretty
rare.
I never
feed large batches to sa-learn, and since I'm running SA under MailScanner the
Bayes rebuilds are automatic.
Good
luck

and eveyrthing is working fast like before.
What is the best way to feed the bayes with spam considering that there is
no mail kept at the server? All users download their mail and thats
it. The spamassassin is marking spams over 5.0
but when it wants to autolearn it says failed(I assume that
because the rest of the time it says autolearn=no). Now i know that bayes
has 0 in its database and i want to feed it with some
spam so it can start learning. Please sugest some ways
to feed spam into bayes.( do i have to prepare it
somehow?)

I'd run "sa-learn
--force-expire" and see if that helps the speed a
bit.
The whole thing is that yesterday i did
sa-learn spam with spam folder and today the server is runing very
slowely now. Emails from to local users take about 3 hours to deliver.
I`m runing RH 9.2 with postfix and spamassassin 3.0.4. I know i can kill
processes but every time i try to kill spamd its still there. Then when
i try service spamd stop it gives me a msg that INET socket is already
running. I thought if i stop spamassassin competly from running maybe
the mail will work fast again. I have only about 20 email account on the
server and 20 domain aliases so there is not too much traffic at all. I
have non stop stuff coming tom y server for the accounts that are not
here and i know this is slowing it down a bit but at this time is runnng
very poorly.

That might be a little overkill though it
does the job ;-)
Stopping running things on *nix
platforms is generally done by killing them, along with their
children. "man kill" will teach you how. Programs that start when
during boot usually have special scripts to both start and stop them,
your best option is to use them. Where they live depends on your
platform and distribution, use the supplied documentation, the man
command and google to find out exactly where. If you don't want it to
run at all at bootup, disable the script (various ways of doing
that).
Kind Regards,
Sander Holthaus
PS: Never turn on things for which you don't
know how to turn them off.
Unplug the power to the
server.
If that fails, I assume you would need to
contact the person that set it up. You sysadmin could allow all your
email to come thru without being scanned.
I hope that helps,
Thinking of you,

How to shut down the spamassassin? so
it doesnt run
