 |
|
This might be a trivial question but I've searched the forum and looked on spamassassin.org without turning up anything relevant. I have two dir's, each with 700+ spam and ham messages respectively. I run
| Code: | sa-learn --dir --spam /home/user/.maildir/.ham
sa-learn --dir --spam /home/user/.maildir/.spam |
and both commands give this output:
| Code: | | Learned from 1 message(s) (2 message(s) examined). |
It always examines 2 messages, no more, why is that?

The first and only thing that comes to my mind is, perhaps a permission problem?.
If that's not the case then I don't know what the problem is.

Those directories don't contain mail - they contain the 3 directories that make up each and every maildir, with 'cur' being the read-mail dir.
To scan the mail you put there you have to scan the /cur dir; to scan new mail you have to scan the /new dir.
And scanning your ham as spam? That's quite funny...
There are two files in every top-level maildir, yes.
One is a dummy that says "this is a maildir", the other is the maildir's index.
I would recommend that you delete the bayesian db's before retrying, since you have succesfully "learned" the indexes of both ham and spam as spam... |

Actually I hadn't seen a maildir until last night so I didn't even know this.
