The --dir option in sa-learn must be broken. I guess that it does not
process files that have spaces in them, or something similar. I solved the
problem by converting Outlook Express folder (.dbx) into mbox format using
DbxConv utility (http://people.freenet.de/ukrebs/dbxconv.html), and then
processing the .mbx file. It works great. I first move all required e-mails
into SpamNotDetected or Ham folder in OE, and then run this batch (warning,
lines probably broken):
@echo off
copy /Y "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{A634EAAA-98E9-45DB-88A1-07E2FD707D67}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\SpamNotDetected.dbx" "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My
Documents\Spam\Dbx"
copy /Y "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{A634EAAA-98E9-45DB-88A1-07E2FD707D67}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\Ham.dbx" "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Spam\Dbx"
L:
cd "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Spam\Dbx"
DbxConv -mbx *.dbx
if not exist "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Spam\*.eml" goto
:spam1
echo Spam .eml
"E:\Programs\SpamAssassin POP3 Proxy\sa-learn" --spam --showdots --dir
"L:/Documents and Settings/Harri/My Documents/Spam" %1 %2 %3 %4
:spam1
if not exist "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Ham\*.eml" goto
:spam2
echo Ham .eml
"E:\Programs\SpamAssassin POP3 Proxy\sa-learn" --ham --showdots --dir
"L:/Documents and Settings/Harri/My Documents/Ham" %1 %2 %3 %4
:spam2
if not exist "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Spam\Dbx\*.mbx"
goto :spam3
echo Spam .mbx
"E:\Programs\SpamAssassin POP3 Proxy\sa-learn" --spam --showdots --mbox
"L:/Documents and Settings/Harri/My Documents/Spam/Dbx/SpamNotDetected.mbx"
%1 %2 %3 %4
echo Ham .mbx
"E:\Programs\SpamAssassin POP3 Proxy\sa-learn" --ham --showdots --mbox
"L:/Documents and Settings/Harri/My Documents/Spam/Dbx/Ham.mbx" %1 %2 %3 %4
:spam3
del /Q "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Spam\*"
del /Q "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Ham\*"
del /Q "L:\Documents and Settings\Harri\My Documents\Spam\Dbx\*"
:end
pause
One question, still: How can I find out the Bayes database status? I have
only SAproxy and sa-learn, do I need to download the normal SpamAssasin
executable as well?
Original message below:
-------------------------
I just yesterday installed SAProxy for use with Outlook Express POP3
account. It works, but when I try to teach it my old spam collection, it
does not learn from it! I use the --dir option, and save e-mails in .eml
format from OE. Sometimes it learns a couple of messages from one
hundred. I also got some spam that SA didn't detect, and saved those
messages into Spam folder, run sa-learn, and again it said 0 messages.
The only explanation I can think is that perhaps they all have the same
message id? Then sa-learn should have an option to ignore the message
id, and just add it. It does not matter to add the same spam message
twice, either, because then it just gets extra weight?
Also shouldn't SA detect that messages have the same id, and mark the
message as spam? It could have a dynamic database of the latest one
million messages that I got, for example.
I don't know if sa-learn fails because of duplicate message ids, though.
Any other suggestions are welcome. I also tried -D switch once but it
didn't say anything about the ignored messages.
How does the --forget option work? If I use it with all spam, do they
get learned as separate messages or does it always remove the old data
from database first?
