Hello. Thank you for the best spam filter ever!
I would just like to ask whether you can make a small change in how messages are tagged and rejected. I am using a low message limit of 40 and a high limit of 100. I am using baysValencePB of 39(default) and baysConfidenceHalfScore is enabled. I am also using a fairly high confidence factor for the Bayesian classifier. (Messages must be tagged as spam ala "testmode" and only rejected if VERY sure it's spam). Everything works very well at the moment, but can be enhanced a bit. If you look at the headers below, you can see that there are enough violations to push the score up to 129.5, which is way above the 100 cutoff. The problem is that because of the Bayesian uncertainty the message is still getting tagged and not blocked. The easiest to explain this is that had I turned Bayesian off, the score would have been 110 and the message blocked. Now with Bayesian on, the score is 129.5,but message only gets tagged and passed on because of Bayesian uncertainty. I think it should block the message if the score (without any Bayesian contribution) is higher than the high limit. It would be very,very nice if there could be a knob where one could enable blocking if (score without baysValencePB + baysValencePB/2) >high_limit. If (score + (baysValencePB/2)) < high_limit AND (score + baysValencePB) > high_limit then it should behave the way that it is at the moment. I hope this feedback can help to make great software even better.
