ok, after over 50 hours of trying to get this work, I finally have a
solution.
The first (certainly not the only) response that was helpful to the
specific problem I posted was:
If that actually *did* get hits on BAYES_00 in this scenario then you
likely are not training the bayes database than SA is actually using.
What user are you training Bayes as, and what user is SA running under?
Both my sa-learn commands (manual and scripted) as well as SA pointed to
the correct db, however it turns out the training I did re-wrote the
ownership of the db files to root. A little bit of user permission
adminning and that problem was solved. sigh, way too many hours lost on
a permissions issue.
Next issue I will tackle is: URIBL_BLOCKED over which I was severly
flogged even though it was not my question. I will attack this tomorrow.
After that this comment was made as well:
I've never used Cyrus, but my understanding is that it has one directory
per folder that holds both emails and metadata files. You appear to be
training on both.
This is an excellent catch and I will try and work some bash magic so
that it only trains on mail messages.
BTW, many people commented on training ham and spam, training ham from
the inbox, etc. Most of what I was doing was testing various scenarios
to try and find /something/anything/ that would produce a sane BAYES
header. During the testing I had complete control over the content of
the imbox and ham and spam folders. The final configuration is scripted
training (note not auto_learn) done on ham and spam folders.
