Matthias +all,
Thank you very much.

You only mentioned running sa-learn on spam you should also learn your
hammessages, both is important. Bayes-Performance will only be good if
learned on both, ham and spam.
Yes, thank you. For the sake of brevity I did not describe fully what I do, but
I do indeed run sa-learn on the ham too (I have a nightly cron job that
collects all the mail from a selection of folders and concatenates it into one
mbox; I then run sa-learn --ham on that and sa-learn --spam on the spam folder).
...and now I'm not so sure that it's a good idea to change the rules'
scores. I suppose I could reduce the threshold to 4.5; but I don't know if
that's a good thing either.
I reduced the treshold too, but also watch quarantine regularly for FPs,
it works fine for me ...
I haven't yet done this (but am still thinking about it) see below...
What's the best way for me to improve SA performance (bearing in mind that
I'm really only an amateur spam fighter).
Me too ;-).
Thanks in advance....
perhaps you could use:
clamav sanesecurity
SARE Rules
Botnet plugin
too ...
Well thanks for this.
I do clam checking before SA so I guess clamav sanesecurity would be
duplicating that...
Dont think so:
http://www.sanesecurity.co.uk/clamav/
"Phishing and Scam Signatures for ClamAV"
I have just now included many of the SARE rules in my sa-update. I am almost
looking forward to getting some spam to see if they work! :)
...I presume that simply adding the rules via sa-update (as per the instructions on the
wiki) is enough - they don't have to be "activated" in any way do they?
running sa-update (cron job) should do it...
Having added all the extra SARE rules I haven't changed the overall threshold
until I see what effect they have.
Good idea, some of the rules might hit on HAM too ...
Where can I find out more about the Botnet plugin? (There doesn't seem to be a
reference to it on the wiki).
http://people.ucsc.edu/~jrudd/spamassassin/
Download the latest version, untar it and read *txt and INSTALL ;-).
You could search this mailing lists archive too for more infos on it.
"spamassassin users botnet plugin" might give some results.
Thanks again.
NP, hf.
