Hi Dave, hope I can help here beyond parroting what I've read & played with...

Why would you want the Bayes score wrapped into the decision about whether to learn it? If I get something *REALLY* spammy, high enough to be learned, but then it scores BAYES_00, it may be dropped below my autolearn threshold. That is the stuff I want going through bayes, not the BAYES_99 stuff. > That is my lowest rated mail learned as spam (same settings as in the > original posting): > > | X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=8.4 required=5.0 > | tests=BASE64_ENC_TEXT,HTML_30_40,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_04, > | HTTP_USERNAME_USED,PRIORITY_NO_NAME,RCVD_IN_RFCI, > | RCVD_IN_SBL,USERPASS > | autolearn=spam version=2.55 > > That does not comply with your statement. > I didn't see the complete debug output as it was processed by SpamAssassin, so I can't really comment, except keep in mind that Bayes autolearning uses either scoreset 0 or 1. This may be scoreset 3 or 4, which may be different. I don't know. > I'm curious about the "safety zone"... why did the > programmer(s) decide > to put it in?

Unattended autolearning in the sweet spots for false positives and false negatives. I'd never autolearn that close to my threshold. I'd hand-feed. But I guess it's good that they allow you to do it now. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
