Bayes Questions

[Andrew Ott <ao...@actcom.net>]

 For those of you running large sites ( we have about 12,000 users, with
210,000 messages a day) what do you have for a bayes_expiry_max_db_size?

Also is there any way to see the count of spam and ham messages that are in
the bayes database, I can't seem to find any info on that.  I want to make
sure there are a lot in there before I turn the bayes rules on.

Thank you.

Andrew

If you run spamassassin --lint -D you should see a line that says 
something like:

debug: bayes corpus size: nspam = 10000, nham = 5000

nspam is the number of spam messages, nham is the number of hams it has 
learned.

Sorry, I'm not a large site, can't answer that.

You probably learned with a different user. SA can have site-wide or 
user-specific Bayes. Depending on that you have to be careful which user 
you learn to.

I checked magic, performed learn with each of ham/spam, 
saw positive sign that 'M of N messages were learned' and 
yet on viewing magic subsequently the numbers for both 
nspam and nham had not changed.

Is this expected behavior?  What should I do different.

I did 'sync' and yet the magic values still remained unchanged.
