Bryan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Bayes Training Script For Forwarded Spam Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2004 00:52:27 -0700 From: Bill Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bryan, Saw your post on the SA list regarding training bayes using forwarded spam/ham. I've written some simple shell/python scripts to extract forwarded spam or ham from a mail box (unix mbox) and feed it to sa-learn. I'm unable to post to the spamassassin list, but I was hoping you might be willing to do so for me. Below are the attached (unix-centric) scripts. Thanks for your time. ===================================================== Bill Reynolds (505)-292-3553 5824 Mimosa Pl.
