Hi everybody,

first post on this list so please be patient if I'm asking dumb
questions. :-)

I have a spamassassin 3.0.3 mail gateway which is working pretty well
and I train the bayesian DB everyday.
I have a couple of questions on this:

- I get some messages marked as SPAM coming form this mailing list,
since the body contains URLs and text from real spam messages: do I have
to feed them in my DB as ham or this can cause some kind of bayes
poisoning ?

- I assume that the training is more important for the messages marked
with BAYES_50 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 40 to 60% [score:
0.5998]; is this correct ?

- Shall I train as ham also the messages not marked as SPAM but having a
score close between 1/2 and 3/4 ? I mean, feeding also "normal" messages
into the system helps to have a good bayes filtering ?

- Does the opposite is also true ? Feeding already marked messages can
enforce the bayesian filtering ?


Thank you to everybody for your time and attention,
mizzio
