Hi everyone,
I've tried looking this up and i dunno if i missed the part about the explanation or not but i couldn't find it. When training spamassassin with new spam and ham mails does the database need an existing copy of the emails you trained it with in order to work? For instance: i use sa-learn and train it with say 6k emails. i delete the original emails. Does the database need to read anything from those emails or is it ok to get rid of them? I assumed that spamassassin just grabbed what it needed from training and put it into database but i wasn't sure TIA -James Don't quote me on this as I'm by NO MEANS an expert, but from a logical standpoint your first intuition should be correct , as you may notice when the training finishes it says; Learned xxx tokens from xxx messages.
