[aurlia93]

I set the schedule learn

echo start %DATE% %TIME% >> D:\hMailServer\Logs\learn-spam.log
"C:\Program Files\JAM Software\SpamAssassin for Windows\sa-learn.exe" --spam --folders="D:\hMailServer\Logs\spam-dir.txt" >> D:\hMailServer\Logs\learn-spam.log
echo end %DATE% %TIME% >> D:\hMailServer\Logs\learn-spam.log

and I got the

start 2018/11/15 16:00:05.03
Learned tokens from 1 message(s) (1901 message(s) examined)
end 2018/11/15 16:00:47.62

I was think it is worked .
But still received looks similar SPAM.
so I want to know how check it is really has learning

thanks

have you already trained the other 1900 mails? if so why do you keep them there?
also try to add option --siteconfigpath

if you mean your learning was giving good results in the past but started to fail, you're probably right, i suffer the same. this has been discussed in SA mailing lists recently.

thanks for reply
after trained the old mail can remove right?

This is new mail server(SpamAssassin), and I don't know how much mail trained will be useful.
and I don't sure my setting is right.

I see someone use --sync option,
but I don't know it work in where? mean what...

thanks

what is in D:\hMailServer\Logs\spam-dir.txt ?

you better start from scratch. delete c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\.spamassassin\bayes_*.*
you should train both spam and ham. i suggets you save about 200-300 (1000+ if you like) recent spam and ham mails in seperate folders and fire your learn.bat. delete them when finished.
don't care about --sync for now.
