• spam going into mailgood

    By Linda Perriello 2 decades ago

    I've been testing kspam for about 3 weeks now, and so far the results are awesome. More and more spam is being caught with no false positives. The only problem I am having is that some of the spam is getting sent to mailgood.



    My settings are as follows

    Action = copy

    boundry = 90

    filter = on

    mark= off

    prep= off

    prep2= off

    ratio = 10



    I would love to "go live" with this, only this little glitch is holding me back. Any help would be appreciated. And yes I have restarted the server.



    Thank you



    Linda

      I'd be happy with spam going into mailgood rather than the other way around!



      Have you checked out the KS_PROB field in the spam? Perhaps you can lower the boundary? or you might be able to exclude some tokens from the calculation using KS_BL_IGNORE?

        Yeah, it's not a major problem, it just seems a bit glitchy. The KS_PROB is always "1.0000" on these e-mails. I'll try fooling around with the KS_BL_IGNORE items.



        I'm sending my results to my manager today, to see if he wants to go live. I'll just have to keep a close eye on mailgood for now.



        Thanks.

      …I see the same thing here.

      One example from ks_log.txt:

      28.03.2005 01:12:54 - Form: Memo

      SUBJECT:Healthier life, simple method

      FROM:"ollie tyson"

      MAIL_FROM:lauretta@flyingmail.com

      BODY LENGTH: 850

      Scanning message

      P:1.0000

      Copying to goodmail

      ALLOW



      Prob is 1.0000 but still copied to goodmail. No rule-matching; just Bayesian.

      BUT: It's handy when you want to keep your mailspam-DB up-to-date. Just go in mailgood, keep the good ones there

      and move the bad ones to mailspam. ;-)



      But…is this the expected way how kSpam should work? just curious…



      Cheers -Daniel.
