Mark as junk in rules ?

2003-10-15 Thread Cedric Fontaine
Hello !

Is there a way to automatically Mark as junk a mail using a rule ?
I'm reporting spam via a specific rule and would like also to mark it
as junk in order to fil my bayesian filter...

I'm not going to respond to the question, since I do not have a good
answer, but I might question this policy.

I have this situation myself, as my mailbox host correctly tags some
small percentage of my SPAM. I thought about doing just what you
suggest, but at the end of the day decided to simply move the tagged
mail to my SPAM folder without running it through Bayesian. The
reasoning follows. I admit this is a kind of guess on my part, and I
would be interested in a contrary explanation.

I suspect that since the Bayesian filter learns, you may not want it
learning stuff that you have other means of detecting. All I think you
will do is make it try to duplicate the work done elsewhere, and it
will be filled with words it does not really need or want to know
about.

That's a good reflexion... I'm not good enough with Bayesian filter to
know what's the good solution... But not marking SPAM as Junk will
also fill the filter with bad data ? Am I wrong ?

My speculation is that it will continue to think of the e-mail as
good. Maybe this is where my grand theory goes to hell in a
hand-basket! Now I don't know what to do, or how to do it!
