Re: How do I reduce SPAM
Corpus is empty.. I see 5 tables in db.
All of them are empty.
| bayesiananalysis_ham |
| bayesiananalysis_messagecounts |
| bayesiananalysis_spam |
| deadletter |
| spool
Not sure why..
How can I debug?

AW: How do I reduce SPAM
Posted by Rudolf Schmidt <we...@gmx.de>.
I also tried james spamfilter some time ago, but it was not satisfying. I
now use Spammassassin with James which works absolutely fine, I would
suggest that.

Are you sure you are forwarding the spam and ham directly to your James
server?
Whenever I receive a spam message I forward it as an attachment to my
server's spam address. However, this only works if your email client is
setup to send to the James SMTP server. It probably won't work if your
email client is setup to send email via your ISPs SMTP server.
