SpamAssassin post-conversion - Page 2

Not sure if other servers have been configured the same as mine, but messages identified as SPAM are no longer being converted to attachments.

I was wondering about that, too.

But if you look in the expanded header of the e-mail, that's where all of the info previously listed in the e-mail. I wonder if it's so that you can better analyze the e-mail as a potential HAM without having to open the attachment?

Hmm.
Reading on the Spam Assassin wiki...

Quote:

Similar to the training example above, for a maildir format mailbox, the commands should be altered as shown below.

For a mailbox you're sure contains only spam messages,

sa-learn --showdots --spam spam-files or spam-directory/* for a whole folder of spam

Then you get a mailbox full of messages you're sure are ham and teach Bayes about those:

sa-learn --showdots --ham ham-files or ham-directory/* for a whole folder of ham

Again, it's important to do both.

Of course, my script does not use --showdots because it runs as CRON....

But here is the modification I made to the original SA-learn script (basically I took out --mbox, and added /* per the above quote...).

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Learning SPAM"
for FILE in `find $HOME/mail/ -name SPAM -print`
do
echo "Processing $FILE"
sa-learn --spam $FILE/*
done

echo "Learning HAM"
for FILE in `find $HOME/mail/ -name HAM -print`
do
echo "Processing $FILE"
sa-learn --ham  $FILE/*
rm $FILE
touch $FILE
done
echo "Done"

But funny thing... this is the result...

Code:

Learning SPAM
Learning HAM
Processing /home/##/mail/stegenga.net/mailtrap/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/##/mail/host-my-site.com/sales/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/##/mail/mybrainhost.com/sales/INBOX/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/##/mail/mybrainhost.com/sales/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/##/mail/mybrainhost.com/abuse/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/##/mail/mybrainhost.com/support/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Processing /home/##/mail/mybrainhost.com/design/HAM
Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (0 message(s) examined)
Done

The code looks right to parse "maildir", and it looks like it parsed the HAM folders correctly... what's up?

(oh, the ## is to block out the account name.

My cPanel was upgraded to version 11 today and I noticed the changes in SpamAssassin. In redoing my email filtering, I learned that to filter on the Spam Bar correctly, you need to escape each "+" with a "\". So, if you want to filter on 8 +'s then you need to enter the following into the field: \+\+\+\+\+\+\+\+

It will then show the filter as:

$h_X-Spam-Bar: contains "\+\+\+\+\+\+\+\+"

Or you can filter on the Spam Score, choose "is above" and enter 79 into the box for the same effect. 79 = 7.9 essentially.

Hope that helps.
