dspam_train(1)

NAME
dspam_train - train a corpus of mail

SYNOPSIS
dspam_train [username ] [spam_dir ] [nonspam_dir ]

DESCRIPTION

dspam_train is used to train and test a corpus of mail (in maildir 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

[nonspam_dir]
