I'd like to add Bayes filtering to catch a bit of spam that's passing through. I have some questions, if I may...

It says I have to send a large corpus of recent mail through it sorted as spam and non-spam. I have a large corpus of non-spam in my archives, but it's not recent. Do I have to worry about teaching Bayes that an old timestamp is a sign of good mail.

I don't have a large corpus of "spam-that-spamassassin-already-missed". I don't even have a large corpus of spam that spamassassin got, since (a) I don't save it and (b) all that spam has been deformed by SA. It's been defanged, changed into an attachment, prefixed with SA's output.

So how do I get started?

SA is installed, but not integrated with the mailer. Instead, I use procmail to run the mail that has passed all the mailing list filters through SA. So the Spam Test is after the mailing lists are drawn off.

Tnx,
</edg>
