I'll second that, my account alone has been getting around 230 caught spams a day and quite a good few missed, it seems to be down to a rather rapid change in the content of the spam, just as the spam filters adapt and learn to the point of blocking spam X it stops and spam y kicks in! In the last few weeks i've added spamhaus and surbs tests, raised scores and lowered thresholds and i'm still getting notably higher volumes of spam (on all my accounts in fact!!) Tis an epidemic I tells ya! -- Mike Woods Systems Administrator

Learn times
Hi guys, me again! After my last little email I've built my new learning scripts and I've been running the initial learn from our spam folders (i.e, the big one) the only issue is it's been going for over a week and shows no sign of being done, so far the bayes_token table on the database I'm feeding this too is up to about 3.3m records, which seems a little excessive to me even for 120,000 spam's but since i've never done a learn of this scale and since this is also the first time im feeding it into a database im not sure what to think! Any thoughts/words of wisdom/reassurances at this point would be welcomed! -- Mike Woods Systems Administrator
Re: sa-learn and Caught spams
Bowie Bailey wrote: Why would you feed things through again and again? My point was that if you turn off auto-learning, you have complete control over what is learned. I wouldn't, but when you said Then you can feed everything to sa-learn and not worry about it I assumed that's what you meant :D You don't have to figure out what has and has not already been learned. Just filter everything into directories for ham and spam learning and feed the entire directory to sa-learn. Once you have learned the messages, you can either delete them, or move them to an archive directory. Using this method, nothing is ever learned twice. Also, (if you do your sorting properly) nothing is ever learned incorrectly. That's basicly what I have in mind! -- Mike Woods Systems Administrator
Re: sa-learn and Caught spams
The internet is a great place for raising more questions than it answers :D Given all the opinions I think I will move the caught spam's into the learning cycle however i'm also going to make sure that each spam is only ever fed through the system once, this wont be a problem since I already make use of their checksums to avoid duplicating files and I had intended to use it to remove old spam anyway. Ta guys, much food for thought :D -- Mike Woods Systems Administrator
