Egads! I hope you didn't hand sort the entire corpus? It's much easier to sort it using a SpamAssassin mass-check first, then pick out the miscategorizations. Speaking of which, I find that I have to scan the entirety of the corpus by Subject/From/whatever and not just the top N messages as suggested in the documentation (especially to find all the false negatives in the ham file). Although, I can see the utility of using a drag and drop GUI (like a mail client) to do the hand-filtering. It's a pain in the neck to move between two windows and type "mv" commands all afternoon long. > when i run mass-check spam:mbox:/path/to/spam it also runs fine, and i > run the sort command and it appears to be working ok, however, after > doing that my ham.log file contains only the following: > > # mass-check results from [EMAIL PROTECTED], on Thu Apr 3 > 08:24:06 UTC 2003 > # M:SA version 2.60-cvs > # CVS tag: $Name: CURRENT_CORPORA_SUBMIT_VERSION $ > > is this normal? Nope. Does "mass-check --mbox /path/to/spam" produce any output? My guess would be a problem with the IMAP file not being in mbox format. If not that, maybe try using tools/mboxsplit to split the mbox files into separate message files and use "dir" instead of "mbox" ?
