Bayesian learning

• The Curse of Bayes

  • Turn off bayes auto_learning & expiry
  • Turn on bayes journalling
  • Very disk I/O intensive – consider tmpfs
  • dbs are fragile and get corrupted
  • backup them up regularly or start afresh
  • To check bayesian database status:
    • sa-learn --dump magic
  • Feeding bayes:
    • sa-learn --spam --mbox --showdots <mbox>
    • sa-learn --ham --mbox --showdots <mbox>
