Hi John, I had a similar problem, and with the help of the list, I was able to resolve it. Here is what you have to do. FIRST kill spamd - if the process is running, it will mess everything up! Second: run sa-learn --sync -D this may take a little while, but it will upgrade your database to

Bayes keeps "forgetting" learned messages

2004-09-28 Thread Erik Wickstrom
Hi all, 2 problems. First, when I train SA on ham or spam, it seems to forget the counterpart. Example: sa-learn --mbox --showdots --ham inbox Would add say 300 hams to the Bayes DB, but turns the spam count to 0 or a very small number and vice versa (sa-learn --dump magic) I am also noticing
