Hi list I have been using spamassassin for over a year now in combination with Kmail.
First, some observations When manually applying the filters "Mark as SPAM" or "Mark as HAM", which pipe the message to the command sa-learn --spam or sa-learn --ham respectively, it takes up to a minute to process on a PIV 4.3Ghz HT with 1Gb of RAM, which seems like ages. Second, it seems that spamassassin vs spam is nothing less then an arms-race, with spamassassin perpetually running behind. As more and more rules are added, doesn't it come to a point where deciding if a message is spam or ham takes longer and longer or up to a point where spamassassin allone can't handle it anymore? Lastly, I am running spamassassin 3.1 out of the box, that is installed the rpm and that's it. What can I do to increase effectiveness of spamassassin in diffrentiating spam from ham? Right now, there's about 10% of all messages that come in on a day (4.500) that are injustly marked as ham or spam (10% is not a lot, but still 45 messages each day!)
