Hi Bud,

This was asked before but I didn't see a response.  Is it possible to send a
message with multiple spam/ham attachments to the spam/ham feeder or is it
strictly one attachment per message? [james 2.3]

Yes. But in addition to that you would need to manually update the bayesiananalysis_messagecounts table counters: as the process is to automatically add 1 to the ham or spam counter, if you feed say 10 attachments you should manually add 9 to the counter.

If the current value of the counters are already high, a small percentage of "error" in the counters can be ignored (say if you have already 1000, ending up with 1001 instead of 1010 doen't matter).

Also, It seems like spammers could easily feed their email to the ham feeder
if steps aren't taken to prevent them from doing so.  Is there a simple way
to prevent people from feeding spam/ham by requiring them to be smtp
authorized or something like that?  Thanks.  -- Bud


Your concern is perfectly correct. To avoid this I have SMTP AUTH activated and use a config line like the following:

<mailet match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" class="BayesianAnalysisFeeder">

where "internal.use" is any not-existing domain (or anyway a domain different from my servernames). The same applies to ham.

This way only SMTP AUTHenticated users will be able to feed spam/ham messages.

Another way is to add a match="SMTPAuthSuccessful" somewhere in the config.xml logic, but the previous solution IMHO is simpler.

Ciao,

Vincenzo
