Greetings; About an hour ago, based on some comments made that the bayes database needed trained on ham as well as spam, and because it seemed to be forgetting some of the stuff I'd fed it as spam, I re-wrote that filter rule in kmail to launch it using one of my sorted directories from a mailing this as the argument. Syntax otherwise the same as the sa-learn-spam filter.
The sa-learn --spam can process a message in 5 to 10 seconds or so, so if I've dropped 20 doofus mails in the spam directory and fire it off, I have it done and kmail is back among the living in 2-3 minutes. But, feeding it a 'ham' directory with about 7k messages in it, turned sa-learn into a 100% cpu hog, incrementing the message processed number only about every 3 to 5 minutes. I couldn't kill it, it kept coming back and I must have fed it a kill -9 50 times. Finally, one of the kills killed x too! But no console came back, so I had to hit the reset button. The reboot was like molassses in January, so I did a power down, same story. Same story 3 times running, so I went and made a sandwich while it set powered down. Then the reboot was normal up to e2fscking a a 372GB drive I use for amanda, the backup proggy. That hung, with no indication of progress for about 20 minutes, no marching **** or anything. But it finally fell through and completed the bootup, and is running normally now but it has taken the majority of an hour to do this. So what is the maximum number of files in a directory that one can feed to sa-learn --ham and expect it to achieve normal speed? I vaguely recall feeding it my corpus of another folder it was having trouble with a year ago, the linux-usb list, 600 to 1k messages in it and it was finished in an hour that time. The command that kmail issues to it is: sa-learn --ham /root/Mail/(foldername)/cur Where foldername is whatever mailing list I want to tell it is ham. Is this correct? I've had it setup that way for 2 or 3 years at least and till now it hasn't been that much of a problem. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
