Hi Jack, thanks for the feedback. I'm really new to that stuff and not sure if I have fully understood it.
Currently I've split emails in their properties and saved them into relational tables, for example the body part. Most of my e-mails are html emails. Now I have for example three categories: newsletter is on of this category. I would like to classify incoming emails as newsletter, if they fulfill an amount of attributes, e.g. the email address of the sender comprised newsletter and variants of this word in the address AND a newsletter content (body) should be classified as an newsletter. Is that possible to do that just with solr? Or do I need another tools for classifiying on the basis of text analysis? Isn't it necessary to build up a taxonomy for "newsletter emails" so that the classifier can match the mail text with some ruleset (defined taxonomy)?

A simpler approach is to do the analysis yourself outside of Solr and then feed the mbox data for each message into SolrCell along with the specific literal field values derived from your classification analysis. SolrCell (Tika) would then parse the mail message and add your literal field values. Or, you may want to consider fully parsing the mail messages outside of Solr so that you have full control over what gets parsed and which schema fields are used or not used, in additional to your content analysis field values. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Ramo Karahasan Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2012 12:17 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Email classification with solr Hello, just a short question: Is it possible to use solr/Lucene as a e-mail classifier? I mean, analyzing an e-mail to add it automatically to a category (four are available)? Thanks, Ramo
