| Author/Date | Bug (?) in the Bayesian options + questions |
| DiCeR 06/11/2003 8:42am | Using Test44:
Bayesian Controls: - Setting a folder name that does not exist gives no warning. - Tagging a mail as spam when folder does not exist marks the mail as read, but nothing else seems to happend. Question: I have 4000+ spam-mails in my Mozilla folders (which nicely imports as MBOX btw!) How can I train Scribe on those emails? In Training-mode - does it move suspected mails or do I have to switch to live-mode? How soon can I expect it to filter spam properly? |
| DiCeR 06/11/2003 9:07am | ... also - where is the wordlist stored? Can I check if the training is working somehow? |
| fReT 06/11/2003 5:22pm | The word lists are stored as:
in the same directory as Scribe. They are just text files so openning them in a text editor will verify if they are being populated correctly. I'll add a warning on setting the probably folder to a non-existant folder. Same for a missing /Spam folder. If your 4000 spam is in the /Spam folder. All you have to do is run the Filters->Rebuild Word Lists command and the filtering should start working straight away. |

Regarding the training of i.scribe (Win32/Test44) Following your instructions yeilds no visible result. HAMWORDS is populated by outgoing mails I send. WHITELIST grows as I add filters, and rebuild "regular" folders... ... but SPAMWORDS remains at 34 bytes, before and after training, rebuilding, and also when I individually tag SPAM. I suspected it could have something to do with all my spam being imported. But checking an actual account where I receive quite a lot of spam daily, gave the same results. It seems that Bayesian functionality is broken in Test44. Apart from that - kickass program!!! :D I've been looking for something tiny and portable, and this seems to be it! Bravo! :) |
