I have not turned on bayes, is it critical (to catching spam)?
Bayes is not critical, but it can be very useful. For best results, I
suggest you do this:
ACK. It can kick the spam over the treshold which is maybe not hit by
other rules,
a well trained Bayes is essential i think. (And it produces no
false-positives if bayes was:
BAYES_100 it was always right).
Manually train the Bayes db with hand-sorted ham and spam at least until
you get to the 200-ham/200-spam limit. After that, keep an eye on your
incoming mail and retrain any messages that are mis-classified.
Manual training works like this:
sa-learn --ham /directory/with/nonspam
sa-learn --spam /directory/with/spam
You should run sa-learn with the proper user account e.g.:
sudo -u amavis -H sa-learn --spam /path/to/spam-messages/
By default Bayes will also auto-learn incoming messages as either ham or
spam based on certain criteria. Some people suggest adjusting the
criteria to further prevent mis-training, but I have not had any
problems with the default settings. However, on some of my accounts, I
will disable the autolearning and manually sort and learn on all of my
incoming mail each day.
Autolearning is not failure proof i think,
especially on less restrictive Mailinglists ...
