SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       dspam_train  is  used to train and test a corpus of mail (in maildir or
15       MBOX format). This tool will present each message to DSPAM for a  clas‐
16       sification  and  then  retrain  only if the message was incorrect. This
17       provides close to real-world training and should be used to build  pre‐
18       trained  databases.  Upon execution, the tool will automatically deter‐
19       mine the ratio of spam:nonspam and train based on that ratio to  ensure
20       both corpora are trained consecutively. This tool can also be used as a
21       test jig to measure the efficiency and accuracy of a particular  corpus
22       against DSPAM in a given configuration.
