Thanks for the quick response. I'll try to reply with what I know. But
I purchased a package "SpamAssassin In A Box" from JAM Software. I ran
the installer, and that's it. I'm sorry that I don't know more. But I
don't know much about the inner workings. I was just hoping it would work.
I am running Windows Server 2008 r2. I purchased the latest version of
SpamAssassin In A Box yesterday, Full x64. It had a build date of April
2016. I can't find the SpamAssassin version number. But I'm assuming
it had close to the latest build as of April.
I am a hosting server environment with several domains and several ids
per domain. I am running the Apache JAMES 3.0 mail server, using the
JAMES-provided mailet to invoke SA. I have been a JAMES user for over
10 years.
I understand the training of Bayes. But I'm having a problem with
that. I have been asking on the JAMES forum about how to run sa-learn
if I'm using a mySQL JAMES repository for mail. No responses as yet.
So I don't know how I can train Bayes at this time. The SpamAssassin In
a Box install asked me if I wanted them to install a pre-defined Bayes
ruleset. I did, but clue how old it is.
So first question that I can't seem to get a response to from JAMES....
is there any code that I can use that allows sa-learn to work with JAMES
db? Or do I have to write code that will take every spam I want to
train with and write it to an MBOX file and run sa-learn that way? I'm
really surprised if I'm the first JAMES user that needs to run sa-learn.
The second question... in the interim is there a 'better' set of Bayes
rules that I can just download and install until I can get the first
issue resolved and can start training myself?
Here is a pastebin.com link to an example uncaught spam message. SA
scored it a 4.7. http://pastebin.com/T1CfVgP4
Thanks,
Jerry

getting a huge amount of spam, and I mean 'obvious' spam mentioning body
parts in the subject line.... that are getting low scores (averaging
about 15 uncaught spams per hour per user inbox). It's still catching
some spam. So I assume it just a scoring issue.
I tried running sa-update. It said no updates were available. I'm
fairly certain that SA is better at recognizing spam that it is
currently doing on my system. Is there something else I need to do in
order to get it to begin recognizing obvious spam? Hopefully 15 uncaught
spams per hour is not considered the acceptable norm.
There's lots you can do (if you can, running on Windows)
As you give us no details what your setup looks like, it's anybody's
guess what your setup looks like
Please look at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/sandbox/emailed/sa-list-template.txt
and tell us something about your setup to help *us* help *you"
