You've had luck training the eudora 6 stuff? I've been trying to get it to learn for a while now and I'm firmly convinced it's useless. Posted by delmoi at 8:14 AM on June 27, 2003īetas of Eudora 6 have Bayesian filtering, which does seem to be trainable and working well after a month or so I'm worried about false positives, but this friggin' thing has a lower false positive rate then I do!
Spamsieve spam folder disappeared manual#
I've not set it up to automaticaly delete things, just give a score which will really help in my manual filtering. I reccomend this filter to anyone and everyone. They were mostly spam advertizments, but from ebay, amazon and, oddly, advertizements for apartments in Ames, IA which had been sent to my university email address.Īnyway.

Out of thousands of messages only about 10 - 20 had scores between 2% and 85%. Even though I'd created the folder that night and put every peice of spam in their manualy, I still screwed up and put a few legit letters in there. Looking in the 'spam' folder was even more of a shock. And of course there were several spam messages that I'd missed. The vast majority were 0% or 1% The only real outlier was a mail message with one word document attached. I wanted the thing to be trained well, so I tried to be careful.Īnyway, after I ran the filter I looked at the spam scores of the files in my inbox. My deleted messages were about half spam, half useless messages from 'legit' message lists which I wouldn't want filtered. There were about 1500 messages in my inbox (thankfully I'd only gotten sloppy about deleting spam in the past few months). The first thing you need to do is 'train' the system, for me this meant going through my Inbox, and my deleted messages folders and placing all the spam in a folder I called "filtered spam".
