Need some help to improve on Spam filtering.
My ISP is has a spam filter. Based on their default setting I lost to much
mail as spam. I changed it so now 10% of my mail is spam. Which is OK since
I use BayesIt as an internal filter.
The problem is that BayesIt designate to many mails as non-spam.(Spam error
is 20%). I cannot remember any mail which was designated as spam by BayesIt
in error.
Can I change some setting in the advance.ini file or somewhere else to
improve the filtering of Spam mail?
My advance.ini file and information (abbreviated) is below
I haven't much clue what the lines in advance.ini do and therefore do not
want to experiment with it.
Can anyone suggest a change in any settings to improve filtration?
Advance.ini file:
> working thread priority="2"
> onexit thread priority="3"
> selective download spam threshold="10"
> export selective download="1"
> simple digits spam marks="1"
> no spaces spam marks="1"

> limit size to hash header="96"
> temporary dictionary="c:\\temp"
> use expiration="0"

> recalculating strategy="3"
> regarding threshold="1.5"
> use autotrain="1"
> use degeneration="1"
> number of exclamations="5"
