Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if I am teaching my spamassassing incorrectly. What I do
is keep the spam messages in a certain spam folder. Then I run sa-learn
as root like so:
sa-learn --spam -C /etc/mail/spamassassin --showdots --dir SPAM/
In /etc/mail/spamassassin/ there is a file called local.cf which
contains:
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666
bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
Sa-learn created the bayes files (bayes_msgcount, bayes_seen,
bayes_toks) in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ the first time I ran it.
My MIMEDefang runs as the user defang. Is there something else I have to
do in order to get the sa-learn to work correctly with MIMEDefang? The
types of spam I teach it still seem to get through (although they had
very low scores to begin with, like 2.7). Am I wasting my time trying to
teach it these very low scoring messages?
Thanks!
