Hello all, I sent an email a few days ago but it might not have gotten through because I did not have a PTR entry for my domain and the mailing list requires it.
The problem that I am having is that spambayes is not effective in identifying spam on my new server. On my old server with a totally different setup it worked perfectly. Here is a description of the new setup. I am using Debian Sarge + postfix + Maildrop with spambayes. I have virtual users which are handeled by the real user vmail. Each user has their own maildroprc file (similar to procmailrc) which uses that specific user's spambayes db file. I originally copied all the old db files over from my old server but I noticed more spam getting to the unsure and INBOX folders. I noticed that the daily training was not changing the size of the db file at all. I removed the db file for my user and created a new one with "sb_filter.py -n -d /home/vmail/.spambayes/dhaval.db". This file turned out to be 12288 bytes. I then proceed to train this db file with my INBOX of 1379 messgaes and spam folder with 1336 messages. I would think that after this many messages of fairly recent emails, I would have a very effective db to filter spam. But the problem is that many spam emails still end up in my unsure and INBOX. I have read that you can adjust the thresholds, I am just using the defaults right now as this is what I did on the old server and it worked very well. Can anybody suggest something to help me troubleshoot this problem? Thanks, Dhaval _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
