RE: Bayes is a cpu hog ?

[Sven Riedel]

Hi, 

I am using Spamassassin on our SMTP servers with almost 2 mails
 an hour. The problem is the machine is almost always heavily loaded.
 Spamassassin takes a lot of time and I think the Bayes checking /
 learning is the real cpu hog ? 
Depending on how much and how often you're learning, yes, it can be a 
hog. Lookups aren't expensive but depending on your backend
learning can hit you. At 2 mails an hour, I'd check if you're using
auto learning of spam/ham and would seriously consider using a real
SQL RDBMS as a backend (MySQL/Postgres). 

 I would like to completely disable bayes , can someone provide some
 inputs on this.
Add the following to your local.cf (usually /etc/spamassassin/local.cf):
use_bayes 0

This will turn everything Bayes related.

Regs,
Sven

Hi all,

   Also I feel bayes is no good for a server like ours , we process
mails for different customers , so bayesian learning for one customer
has little sense for the other.

I would like to completely disable bayes , can someone provide some
inputs on this.

Thanks
Ram
