Perhaps yes, though. The generation process could check the masscheck
results of the SOUGHT subrules and permanently suppress any subrules
that hit (a certain threshold of) ham.
It's feedback, just not as immediate as the dedicated SOUGHT ham corpus,
and it doesn't require exposing the masscheck ham corpora. I think
that's what Warren had in mind.
Aren't the nightly masscheck subrules combinations of many patterns, so
you aren't sure exactly which pattern is bad?
I apologize, I was unclear in my suggestion.
This is what I was referring to:
http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?rule=%2F__SEEK
Each __SEEK subrule is for a specific pattern. The SOUGHT rules are metas
of several __SEEK rules.
As an example, here's a pattern subrule that might be too FP-prone and
would be a candidate for being automatically suppressed after the
masscheck results were analyzed:
http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/20110219-r1072269-n/__SEEK_FMJXND/detail
What I'm suggesting is a mini-masscheck for SOUGHT only. Put each
pattern into thousands of individual sub-rules. Participants run this
mini-masscheck against their ham only, then upload the logs directly to
JM.
Ah, okay. We weren't thinking along the same lines, then.
