|Subject: Nigerian spams hit BAYES_00
|
|Using SpamAssassin 3.0.2 on Solaris 2.6, Perl 5.8.6.
|
|For some reason, I'm getting BAYES_00 scores on a lot of our 
|Nigerian scam mail (and sometimes lottery scams).  Most other 
|spam scores at reasonably high Bayes values (like 95, 80, or 
|at worst 50).  Most of the training has been done with 
|autolearning using the default autolearn parameters, but I 
|have also manually trained some spam, including lots of 
|Nigerian spam (probably dozens of them).  Here is some data:
|
|# sa-learn --dump magic

Your ratio of ham to spam shows you have a lot more ham than spam trained,
are you sure its not been learning spam has ham, so poisening your bayes
database.
