The others have addressed the "two rules" you mentioned, so I'll leave
that alone in this email.
There's more here than that: If you're using Bayes, you have to train
it. Right now, it's hurting you: Those 0.8 points should be some
negative value, perhaps -1.9 or -0.5 (the default scores for BAYES_00
and BAYES_05), which would then have made that message score 2.1 or 3.5,
both of which are below your 4.2 threshold (which is already too low!).
There's no doubt my Bayes isn't working. I ran a few hundred each of
ham and spam through sa-learn just after installing SA some year+ ago.
I haven't regularly fed it since, though I have run through maybe a few
dozen spam that weren't scored high enough. And I think I may have
inadvertently run through one or two msgs that had anti-Bayesian text
blocks in them-- the bible versus, wikipedia content, etc.
I just ran 120 hams through, about half were msgs tagged previously with
Bayes_60 through Bayes_95.
~$ sa-learn --ham --mbox --progress /home/stan/mail/ham
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Obviously there's a problem with no tokens learned. A few questions:
1. Is the database the problem? If so...
When it says "(0 message(s) examined)" that shows that it was unable
to parse -any- messages out of that input file. This tends to imply that
the contents of that "/home/stan/mail/ham" file are not a "mbox" format
or it's an empty mailbox.
First thing to fix, get your input recoginised as messages. Then see how
they're being learned.
