Actually, not quite right, if you're scanning with network tests, it'll do the auto-learn score test with network tests as well.
Phew.... I was hopping Matt was wrong :)
But regarding the use of Bayes in auto-learn determination causing feedback, that's the big danger.
Indeed.
BTW, one possible way to avoid FP/FNs getting into the auto-learn data further, is to modify the learn() sub to add to the existing verification steps:
- recomputed hits must be < bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam or > bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam
Yes
- for spam, must have 3 head hits and 3 body hits
Why ? This seems a bit arbitrary to me. Either we trust the scoring or we don't :) What is magic about 3 in particular ?
add this one:
- previous hits must be < bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam or > bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam
Hmm, well for starters that would prevent whitelisted spam (such as spam on this list when people have the list whitelisted) from being autolearnt, and depending on your point of view that could be a good thing or a bad thing....
