Hi all,
Back in the spring, someone mentioned that it is good to have your ham/spam ratio close to even. I have a site-wide set-up and while it seemed to be working perfectly, I did notice that when I did an "sa-learn -dump magic", my ham-to-spam ratio was almost 7::1 (2,200,000 ham to only 330,000 spam). I made two small changes to my set-up. 1) I changed the threshold for ham from -1.0 to -3.0, and I turned on auto-whitelisting. It seems to have done the trick. On April 17 my ham/spam ratio was 6.68::1 and today (Aug 26) it sits at 1.95::1! (2,900,000 ham to 1,480,000 spam). I see that my auto-whitelist file is now quite large. In just 4 months, it has grown from 0 to 335 megs. Is there a way to pare that file down? Or should I maybe just stop spamd, delete the file, and restart spamd? (will that do me any harm?). Thanks. - jim - -
