Bayes

[Paul Douglas Franklin of Union Gospel Mission <pd...@yugm.org>]

SA is marvelous!  I installed Kolab last summer and have been using SA 
to greatly cut down on spam.  (It is filtering out about 5,500 e-mails 
per week for our organization.)  I'm not sure which version of SA Kolab 
uses, but I believe it is 3.0.x
Lately I have been writing quite a few rules to try to keep up with the 
spammers.  Bayes wasn't doing the trick.  I find it a little 
disappointing that Bayes within Thunderbird catches on much faster than 
Bayes in Spamassassin, and that makes me wonder whether something is 
malconfigured.
I'm the only one in the organization whose system is configured to input 
into the SA bayesian filter, and I faithfully send those messages which 
I have marked in Thunderbird as junk to the spam learning folder for 
SA.  Nonetheless, SA continues to allow some e-mails thru which 
Thunderbird then automatically marks as junk.
Any suggestions?

I also use Thunderbird.
I think you just have to give it time. I always assumed SA's bayes is 
more precise and takes more time to train than Thunderbird's.
