Make SPAM ASSASSIN work for you... - Page 12

**ttorion** · October 31st, 2006, 10:47 AM

I've recently set up SpamAssassin per this thread. Wanting to learn more about SA I have been searching the internet. I came across this page from UVA.

Referring to training SA it states:

Now to achieve the best results, it's desirable to strip off any spamassassin markup, by running the following:
formail -s spamassassin -d < pathto/HamTraining > cleaned.ham.mailbox
formail -s spamassassin -d < pathto/SpamTraining > cleaned.spam.mailbox

Is anyone stripping the spamassassin markup? Does it really make any difference in the SA training? What would a script look like to do this?

It makes no difference... the current versions of spam assassin ignore their own markup...

Thanks Bigjohn! And a BIG thanks for all the info on setting up Spam Assassin!

No PROBLEM!

All of a sudden I get this message everytime the script is called:

Quote:

/bin/bash:
: No such file or directory

I'm sure everything is still there.

check with support - that's very odd.

Will do.

The earlier the script "learnspam" was in dos format which might had created the difficulty.Now i had converted it to unix format.

Unix Admin

How it came to be in DOS I don't know. Didn't change it at all. But it works now.

Going to get me some

Did you ever get it to work? I'm having the exact same problem.
