Hi all Debian users, I have this setup for mail:
exim4 as MTA, fetchmail to fetch mails from different pop3 servers which delivers mails to procmail and procmail calls spamc and finally I'm using mutt as my mail reader. I'm used to recollect spam messages in an archive named ~/Mail/archive/recent/spam, which contains *all* the spam messages collected in the last 6 months (weekly refreshed by an anacron script). In order to train spamassassin I also run weekly this anacron script: #! /bin/bash MAILROOT=$HOME/Mail # maildir inboxes # learn what is ham sa-learn --ham $MAILROOT/archive/recent/generic/* #learn what is spam sa-learn --spam $MAILROOT/archive/recent/spam/* both ~/archive/recent/spam and ~/archive/recent/generic are maildir mailbox (this is the reason I use the * to match cur, new and tmp). The problem with this setup is that I continue to get a *large* number of spam messages in my generic inbox (which contains no mailing-list mails), in the order of more then 50 messages per day, and I'm getting tired to manually filter it, while most of spam messages (200+) are directly addressed in the ~/inbox/probably-spam directory. So my question is: what's wrong with this setup, in particular can you suggest how to improve the spamassassing training? Also I would like to avoid to encapsulate messages detected as spam as it currently spamc does encapsulating in a message starting like this: "Spam detection software, running on the system "santefisi.caos.org", has identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label similar future email. If you have any questions, see the administrator of that system for details." Can you suggest which option I have to switch off? Also I ask if such messages are correctly classified when the sa-learn is run against them (maybe *this* the problem). Also have you suggestions for how to improve this spam management system for this one-user system? Many thanks, regards and and an happy debianish new year. -- Stefano Sabatini Linux user number 337176 (see http://counter.li.org) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
