 |
|
I've recently installed spamassassin and need to train it. Unfortunately I've deleted all spam mails so far so I only have the 10-15 spam mails that arrived today for training.
Does anyone know a website where I can download spam for training?
It would also be great if someone had some local (german) spam for me  |

This is probably a bad idea unless you also have a large corpus of good email to train it with. |

Hmm, I have about 1500 ham mails. Should I feed about the same amount of spam mails to spamassassin? |

Feed something that matches the original ratio, i.e. if two out of three emails are spam in average, then feed 3000 spam mails.

Spamarchive.org deems to be non-resolvable, anyone have a link to a similar site?
(The google cache is not very useful because the mirrors are outdated and the original FTP is not online anymore.)

| Have a look for Steveb's DSPAM postings as he offered up some German language spam before. |
