Immediately after I sent this, I received notice that my subscription to the mailing list was accepted. Guess where Spambayes put the email. In Suspected Spam!!!!
_____ From: Charles Reed [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 12:35 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Naive Question Spambayes is terrific (especially to me, a lawyer whose computer expertise is frozen back in the DOS days). But it seems to have an inexplicable problem for me. About 20-30% of the mail filtered into the Suspected Spam personal folder is valid mail from senders who routinely communicate with me. I would have thought that I could add such senders (or their domains) to a safe sender list that would be bypassed in Spambayes filtering process. Despite a diligent search of your FAQ material, I couldn't find any reference to the issue. (I thought either Spambayes has a way of tagging safe senders and domains, or that it filters email only after it has been filtered through another application's safe list (I use Outlook, which, as you know, allows you build such a list). Can you please tell me if there is anyway I can create such a safe list that Spambayes will bypass. (Incidentally, I routinely move such mail into the Inbox (which, according to your materials says that this further trains Spambayes. It seems not to do so, because in many cases the same senders are appearing in the questioned spam folder.) Th9s would enormously enhance the usefulness of Spambayes for me. In time, the safe list would catch most of the false hits that Spambayes now throws into the questionable folder.
