So I just got started with spambayes and tried to train my system
using imapfilter.py. The first problem was that I had to discover on
my own that I needed to edit spambayes/Options.py in order to keep
imapfilter.py from raising exceptions.
Then, once I'd done that, I was able to get it to do this:
%src/spambayes/imapfilter.py -t -c -v -D bayes.db
Loading database bayes.db... Loading state from bayes.db database
bayes.db is a new database
Done.
Training
Training took 10.5770339966 seconds, 0 messages were trained
Classifying
...
Now, should I be concerned that "0 messages were trained"?
Should I be concerned that -v didn't produce much verbose output?
Since I didn't get any, I decided to poke around and see what was
happening. I went to the "unsure" mailbox (known as UnsureBox) in
Gnus, and found that none of the messages showed up with senders or
subjects. Taking a look at the raw messages, I found the following:
Needless to say, I interrupted the classification process! What
should I do now? At least 1000 messages have been processed this
way. Are they hopelessly mangled?
