simply out of interest, may i ask what you define as a 'false negative'. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Tomhave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 1:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Matt Kettler; Simon Byrnand Subject: RE: [SAtalk] Wow, spam with scores as low as 2.1??

Any higher than 8 and you start missing a lot of spam. > Given the commentary in this thread and the fact that my bayes seems to be working better now (deleted the .spamassassin directory, did a rebuild, and then fed it 650+ spam messages), I have adjusted the settings for my users as follows for their "sensitivity" options: Severe = 0.5 (unchanged) High = 2.0 (changed from 1.5) Medium = 6.0 (changed from 4.0; this is the new default) Low = 10.0 (changed from 7.0) None = 999999 (unchanged; what's the max allowable?) I'll test with these levels and see how we do with false positives and false negatives. I was motivated to make this change after noticing that with the reloaded bayes, scores were tending to be much higher. cheers, -ben -- Benjamin Tomhave, Senior Systems Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sofast Communications www.sofast.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
