Hello,
I've run into an issue with a mailbox where large amounts of spam are
making their way through filters. The majority of these spam messages
receive SA scores of 0.3-1.6; for obvious reasons I cannot adjust the
filter sensitivity this aggressively. After reading through the docs
I've come across the 'sa-learn' command which is supposed to help
SpamAssassin learn beyond its scoring method - please correct me if I
misunderstood here.
I'm using SpamAssassin version 3.2.5 on RHEL4 on a VPS should this be of
assistance. I've moved a collection of these spam messages into a new
folder made with a supplied webmail software. The command I am using
is: sa-learn --spam /path/to/file This file currently has 153 spam
messages; however when the above command is run I receive the following
message:
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
I take this to mean that the learn tool either found nothing of
importance to scan, or simply found nothing at all to scan. Are there
additional parameters I should be including here? Or is it more a case
of because these messages receive such a low SA score to begin with,
SpamAssassin finds nothing wrong?
TIA for any assistance,
-Tim Thorburn
