NAME¶
dspam_train - train a corpus of mail
SYNOPSIS¶
dspam_train [
username] [
--client]
[
-i index|
spam_corpus nonspam_corpus]
DESCRIPTION¶
dspam_train is used to train and test a corpus of mail (in maildir or
MBOX format). This tool will present each message to DSPAM for a
classification and then retrain only if the message was incorrect. This
provides close to real-world training and should be used to build pretrained
databases. Upon execution, the tool will automatically determine the ratio of
spam:nonspam and train based on that ratio to ensure both corpora are trained
consecutively. This tool can also be used as a test jig to measure the
efficiency and accuracy of a particular corpus against DSPAM in a given
configuration.
OPTIONS¶
- --client
- If specified, DSPAM is used in client-server mode.
- username
- Specifies the user to train, if omitted the current user
name is used.
- -i index
- Use a index file instead of the usual spam_corpus and
nonspam_corpus.
index : Path to the index file having the following format per line:
[class] [path to message]
- spam_corpus
- Specifies either the pathname to the directory containing
the corpus of spam, with each in a separate file (e.g. maildir format) or
a path to the mailbox in the traditional Unix MBOX format.
- nonspam_corpus
- Specifies either the pathname to the directory containing
the corpus of nonspam with each message in a separate file or a path to
the mailbox in the traditional Unix MBOX format.
EXIT VALUE¶
- 0
- Operation was successful.
- other
