hey folks,
Would it be wise (actually, would it do any harm) to have one BAYES database for a whole site, instead of per-user basis? (Just a hand full of users.)
There are some advantages and some drawbacks here. On the advantage side as it learns from the spam of one user it can apply those lessons to another.. however if your users get a wide variety of kinds of nonspam, it can also decrease the ability of the Bayes engine to classify spam by flooding it with a broad variety of nonspam symbols.
Really it shouldn't be a big problem, but Bayes is more slightly accurate on a per-user basis.
How can I do that? Did not find any note, how to define a site wide BAYES database. TIA
Just over ride the bayes_path to a fixed one instead of the default one which is relative to ~.
Just be sure to end in "/bayes" if you want semi-sane behavior (the path is really the path, plus the first part of the filename)
something like:
bayes_path /var/bayesdb/bayes
Just be sure that /var/bayesdb is readable and writable by all the user accounts that SA gets run as (might just be root, depending on how you are set up).
You may need to set bayes_file_mode if it's called by multiple users as well.
