Hi there,
I emerged SpamAssasin on a mailserver the other day, added the
appropriate line to /etc/postfix/master.cf and it all seems to be
working ok. But it doesn't seem to be very accurate in the default
configuration - I have a mailbox with about 4,000 messages,
approximately 98% of which are spam and it gets only about 1/3 of
them. The statement in `perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf`that "5.0 is
the default setting, is quite aggressive" does not seem true here.
The installation is for a small site with about 5 users who won't be
capable of much sophistication when it comes to training spam & ham -
it's a shame that something magical can't be done involving right-
clicks in Outlook - so I'd just like a cheap & cheerful way to
improve accuracy.
I'd be very happy with a 95% success rate on spam detection, but
obviously false positives are a Bad Thing.
I read something about Vipul's Razor so emerged it before emerging
SpamAssasin - I think this means that SA is able to take advantage of
it - but haven't looked yet into setting it up. Is it any good? I
read stuff about training Razor & returning feedback to the network,
but that's really not an option here - is it possible just to use
Razor as a "leeching" client?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Stroller.
