Bayes: Worth it?

[Koen Teugels]

How do you get the mail from the public folder into the sa learn?
Is it done by a share? And every nigth you do an sa-learn??

thanks Koen

 Hi,

  

 Please excuse my bayes ignorance, but don't you have to train
it in some way to know what is really spam and what is really ham?
How do you train a system like this when it's acting as a
gateway?  I always assumed that there had to be user
intervention in the training process...
    

 Yes and no. As Julian pointed out, SA can auto-learn. You can also teach it via Exchange. One way would be to use public folders SPAM/HAM into which users drag their mails. You can then fetch the mails out of there and feed it back to SA via sa-learn. We currently archive all incoming mail for three days on the proxy via Mailscanner, fetch mails from Exchange public folders, lookup the original mail using the Message-ID and then feed the original mail to SA, DCC, Razor, Spamcop.

  JP
