denny: (This way up)

Just spent some time setting up Evolution to run SpamAssassin over my emails as they make their way into my IMAP inbox. Fed it the last thousand each of my spam and non-spam emails for a sample, and it seems to be working nicely. The last half hour has been most gratifying, as every now and then a little 'beep' signals the diversion of yet more shit into my 'Quarantine' folder. *happy geek*

(stats so far: 49 positives, 4 negatives, 0 false positives, 1 false negative)

Eh? I though SpamAssassin filtered by scoring on fixed patterns - and as such doesn't learn? Mozilla's stuff's bayesian, but I thought that was different?

Latest SA has Bayesian capabilities as well as the other stuff. Seems to be working very well so far.

Ah cool - will have to have a look at that - apparently upcoming SA is promising SPF support too. If they ever decide on a standard.
