Hi,

what it can be the reason of the different score assigned?
why the second system doesn't assign an AWL score?
They give different Bayes scores so the Bayes databases have
been trained with different messages. Do you have autolearn
switched on?
# Bayesian classifier auto-learning (default: 1)
#
# bayes_auto_learn 1
Do I have to set it to 0?
No, but that may explain why the two servers have different Bayes scores
for similar messages. If they receive different message streams they
will be learning a different view of the email world.
But Then how I have to instruct Spamassassin? What is the best way? Do I
have a spam folder to instruct SA?
I don't think you need to turn off autolearn, you may want to adjust
your threshholds, mine are set to this:
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam -0.1
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 12.0
I have autolearn switched on, but I also manually train with false
negatives, and I occasionally train a bunch of recent ham as ham.
And you must understand that the Bayes system is not a one
shot and you have if fixed kind of system. Just training a
single message will alter the scoring, but you may also need
to train it with a few similar messages for it to
significantly change its scoring.
You're saying right. Now I understand.
Thank you,
rocsca
