[Bug 5174] New: RFE: "promothreshold" parameter to set rule-promotion metadata
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5174
Summary: RFE: "promothreshold" parameter to set rule-promotion
metadata
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: sa-update
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: jm@jmason.org
I'm messing around with some interesting, automatically-generated rules
at the moment. It looks like I'll be able to collect a corpus of
spam and nonspam, run a script, and get a set of rules that hits 6%
of spam with 0 FPs on the nightly mass-check corpora. (See
http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?daterev=20061109-r472811-n&rule=%2FXMAILER_MIMEOLE&srcpath=rulesrc%2Fsandbox%2Fjm%2F&s_zero=on&s_detail=on&g=Change
for an example.)
Now, I'd like to automate this a little more -- for example, driving
it from spamtraps and creating rulesets weekly, let's say. But I don't
want to allow rules with any FPs at all to get into rule updates.
A good way to do this would be to add a new config setting which controls
the promotion thresholds, currently set to a default of:
# as per http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RulesProjPromotion, for -P
my $promote_so_min = 0.95;
my $promote_hitrate_min = 0.02;
my $promote_fprate_max = 1.00;
(from hit-frequencies).
I suggest something like "#promothreshold so_min=1.00 hitrate_min=0.02
fprate_max=0.00". the "#" is to protect it against normal parsing, like "#reuse".
