One major problem I found with bayes_ignore_header is with regard to lotus notes. Most of my users are notes users. My mail gateway is unix (of course) running SA. When users receive mail that is incorrectly marked they used to send it to a dummy user on the gateway to be learned by sa-learn. However, I found that notes added lots of headers that bayes_ignore_header did not remove. On top of that notes changed/modified some of the headers. And if a user did not send the mail correctly then no headers were send. (Notes strips headers assigning them to variables thinking no one will ever want to see them.)
In the end I talked to our notes developer and found he could write a simple agent that would take the current message grab the original headers and drop that off to a dummy user. The dummy user is really a program that looks for markers created by the agent telling me where the true start and end of the message is and spits out the original message with the original headers. I then have cronjob that runs the spam/ham through sa-learn. Louis On Thu, 2003-06-12 at 11:57, Duncan Findlay wrote: > On Thu, Jun 12, 2003 at 01:37:01PM +0100, Adam T.
