Thank you Thomas, that is exactly what I have been doing for years and it worked fine. MaxBayesFileAge was the only thing I adjusted to keep ham and spam collections at a litte more than 14000 mails. Not more to avoid wasting disk space unnecessarily. Until recently I have been dealing with very low mail volume, leading me to MaxBayesFileAge of say 750 days for spam and 250 days for notspam. Now the mail volume has increased much and - continuing the same strategy - i reached a current ratio of 650 days for spam and 24 days for notspam. At that point I wondered if it is healthy to build a corpus of only young ham and young to very old spam.
I am also looking for other ways to slow down notspam collection, e.g. content based by excluding automatic status reports and such. Currently this is all academic - ASSP works absolutely fine for me. :-) Regards Dirk ------ Originalnachricht ------ Von "Thomas Eckardt" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> An "Dirk Kulmsee" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>; "For Users of ASSP" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Datum 26.08.2026 15:14:15 Betreff Re: [Assp-user] Question about freqSpam / freqNonSpam keep in mind, that notspam mails are required to maintain the spamDB and HMMdb (e.g. Bayesian and HMM)! I would leave ' freqNonSpam' at 1. If the notspam collection grows too fast and you use Bayesian or HMM, change 'MaxBayesFileAge' to limit the amount of collected files. The rebuild task processes youngest files first (down to the oldest). This way both databases are based on the most recent processed mails.

The description says I have to collect every mail or else BlockReports cannot recover mails if they haven't been collected before. That sounds obvious. But how about notspam mails? If ASSP considers a mail as good, it is delivered to the recipient and there should be no reason to resend it by a BlockReport. Question: can I safely lower the Non Spam Collection Frequency (freqNonSpam) without losing important data or am I missing something?
