sa-learn

I’ve just found out how effective sa-learn is at keeping out spam emails. Over the last week or so the number of spams reaching my mailbox was starting to reach stupid levels and once more outstripping the number of real mails to the point I was missing real emails for the spam.

A little digging around my system (and a read of all them emails cron sends me which get dumped to a folder which empties it self every so often) relived that due to a permissions change on my spam folder (I delete the entire thing caus my mailsever ran out of space and I was in a hurry) sa-learn could no longer do its job. A quick (well slow – it had to process about 2000 odd emails) run of sa-learn and my spam level is back to slightly above the usual levels, and that should hopefully drop as I feed more emails into se-learn.
