Somebody already answered the syntax for modifying your scores in your local.cf, so...
The auto-learn "bayes evaluator" doesn't take the Bayes scores into account when deciding whether to learn as spam or ham. So you could have autolearn threshold set to 10, have your Bayes tests at 20 points, and get a 29-point spam come in, but not be sent through autolearn. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 11:43 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SAtalk] Changing Bayes scoring > > > Greetings, > > I'd like to increase the score for certain bayes > confidence levels.
