Hi,
To feed "ham" to bayes, should one only user mis-flagged mail, or may one
use unflagged (below 5) mail?
Expressed differently, can one feed "good" messages, "sa-learn --ham
path-to-ham " as one might feed missed spam, "sa-learn --spam path-to-spam"
You can train hams that have scored high (i.e. misclassified hams) and you
can proactively train low-scoring mail to try to avoid problems in the
first place.
If there are some spam messages with BAYES_00, and the database needs to be
corrected, is it best to just learn it as spam, or use --forget, then
--spam?
I just grepped the quarantine and there were a handful of BAYES_00 with
overall scores between 6 and 10.
Just re-learn it as spam, that automatically forgets that it was ham.
--forget is only useful to completely remove that message from the
database.
