After the big discussion a month or so ago, I decided to give spamassassin another fair try - this prompted by my having created self-imposed problems getting spambayes to work on my home FC5 pc. I use kmail - supposedly, kmail detects spamassassin and give you the option of configuring/using it - it provides training buttons on the menu-bar, so you can go through your inbox and separate the spam; I also trained on a number of ham messages that had been filtered into various folders, training on several from each folder. After intially terrible results, my spam detection crept up to about 80%. Since I get over 200 spam messages daily, that still would leave over 40 messages to sift through daily, not so great. Today, I finally got Spambayes running; after initial training on about 200+ messages, I'm already getting around 95% spam detection... Am I missing something here? Is there a better way to train spamassassin? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
