Hola, Diego
2008/2/21, Diego Pomatta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello list.
Does the bayes system use a separate db for the "autolearn" mode?
Today I noticed that my SA bayes has 50 spam and 45 ham mails learned,
when I thought the db had a lot more, because bayes IS being used.
# sa-learn --dump magic
0.000 0 3 0 non-token data: bayes db version
*0.000 0 50 0 non-token data: nspam
0.000 0 45 0 non-token data: nham*
# spamassassin -D --lint
...
[7896] dbg: bayes: found bayes db version 3
[7896] dbg: bayes: DB journal sync: last sync: 0
*[7896] dbg: bayes: not available for scanning, only 50 spam(s) in bayes
DB < 200*
...
In the beginning , after setting up SA, bayes was not being used.
I had not trained it with anything yet, but my local.cf had:
*use_bayes 1
use_bayes_rules 1
bayes_auto_learn 1*
Reading the logs I noticed that it was only autolearning spam, not ham.
So I added
*bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.5*
and it started learning ham.
I monitored the logs and at some point incoming mails started triggering
the BAYES_20, BAYES_50, BAYES_00, BAYES_95, BAYES_99, rules.
So I figured it had autlearned the minimum needed amount of ham and spam
(200) to start working.
Every now and then I use sa-learn to feed some spam and ham to bayes,
and I thought I was contributing to the same db. Those must be the 50
spam and 45 ham mails.
So what's the deal? :)

Well, a couple of questions should be answered first: how do you call
SA? under which user does SA run? are you learning those mails under
the right user? Which version are you running? do you use sa-update?
Provided those questions, let's move to the core of this issue: As you
said, you only have 50 spams and 45 hams learned. You should feed more
data to SA, to make the Bayes scores kick-in. Normally, Bayes scores
help SA to get better filtering (at least, they do here, and I suspect
they'll help you too, since as you work in Argentina, your main locale
should be Spanish, and you'll be getting mostly Argentinian spam).

Hey Luis. I forgot to add that info, duh.
The setup here is
qmail 3.05
simscan 1.3.1
SpamAssassin 3.2.1 (spamd/spamc)
sa-update is cron'ed to run daily ( no parameters = default channel ->
updates.spamassassin.org, right? )
Simscan calls spamc under the user "simscan".
I did the manual feeding to sa-learn as root.
so... ummm. I guess root has the separate database and I've been using
sa-learn with the wrong user...?
Ook, time to remove head from butt, and insert foot in mouth.... *lol*

Where are you from Luis?
