If I used my --dbpath like above, two files bayes_seen and bayes_toks were created below this folder. If I use --dbpath ..../bayes/test, then I get two files test_seen and test_toks in that folder. I'll correct this of course, but it works like before and my problem is still there. >> --showdots /var/spool/imap/user/kmeyer/[0-9]*." amavis > ^^^^^^^ >This is dangerous.

The folder is a cyrus Imap folder. I used the [0-9]*. expression, because each cyrus folder contains messages with numbered filename with a trailing dot and four cyrus.* files (cache, index,...). > A word of caution.

First, I learn ham from the inbox folder, then spam from the junk folder. If a mail is moved to the junk folder meanwhile and no expunge was done, then it's not relearned as ham again and learned from the junk folder as spam newly. > Using the Inbox rather than a dedicated ham folder therefore is NOT a > good idea. The problem is, that I can't persuade about 120 users to store all their ham below a defined folder. They want to sort their mails into several folders they created by their own. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/sa-learn-problems-and-comprehension-question-tp30172306p30178053.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
