is rumored to have said:
[quoting me]
TxRep (like AWL) is fed not by Bayes learning (sa-learn) but rather
it
tracks the combination of an address and a source IP range (/24) with
a
tally of the SA scores of messages using a subset of rules (no Bayes,
no
TxRep/AWL). The TxRep or AWL DB can be seen and managed using the
sa-awl
script and the listing action commands to the spamassassin script.
Because of that, when I want to "learn" spam I feed to BOTH 'sa-learn
--spam' AND 'spamassassin --add-to-blacklist' so that both databases
are
taught.
Okay, very interesting. It's not entirely clear from the description
--add-to-blocklist Add addresses in mail to
persistent
address blocklist
Is there a ham equivalent?
-W, --add-to-welcomelist Add addresses in mail to
persistent
address welcomelist
There is a single unified dynamic sender+source reputation list,
implemented by TxRep or AWL, so it is a bit confusing that we use
welcomelist and blocklist where it is really just one list with both
negative and positive reputation factors.
The --add-to-blocklist action adds address+source records to the
TxRep/AWL DB as
if the message has just arrived with a very HIGH positive score, by
default 100
The --add-to-welcomelist action adds address+source records to the
TxRep/AWL DB as if the message has just arrived with a very LOW negative
score, by default -100
The --remove-from-welcomelist action REMOVES the address+source records
from the TxRep/AWL DB that would have been added with either of the
add-to actions.
The --remove-addr-from-welcomelist=<addr> action REMOVES the TxRep/AWL
records related to a single specific email address without referencing
any particular email message.
The --add-addr-to-welcomelist=<addr> action ADDS the TxRep/AWL records
related to a single specific email address with a low negative
(non-spam) score without referencing any particular email message.
The --add-addr-to-blocklist=<addr> action ADDS the TxRep/AWL records
related to a single specific email address with a high positive (spam)
score without referencing any particular email message.
Hopefully that clarifies...
