Sudden break out of Junk Mail ?

[saoir]

After several years of Pocomail and six months of Barca... with excellent success in Junk Mail filtering ... it all changed about two days ago... for no apparent reason.

I get >100 junk mail a day and one might get through each month.

In the last 48 hours about 20 Junk mail have come through into my IN box.

Anyone else experience this ?

I have checked my settings and all seems well.

BTW: my Baysian settings are: 0.9, 2.0, 20, 0.

Have you tried shutting Poco down and re-starting? I have seen this a couple of times before and it's almost as if Poco "loses" it's memory of filters and bayesian info. For me, restarting has always solved the problem.

Will do

Didn't work... it's just pouring through ....

My Filters appear to be active ... it says that it has dealt with 27,000 emails and has 6,000 bad words and 32,000 good ones.....

Are they being scored as junk by the bayesian filtering? (You'll have look inside the headers to see this.)

What does the baysian filter header look like ?

Should 'all' email have a filter header or just ones that have been classified as junk ?

Looks something like this, with the middle line being the important one:

X-Poco-Score: +10

X-Poco-Score-Detail: +10 [%BAYES%=P=100;T=99;BIAS=+30] (%bayes% P=100;T=99;Bias=+30)

X-Poco-Scored: +10

[Guest]

This message is not removed from the IN box: - why the -10 ?

X-Poco-Score-Detail: -10 [%BAYES%=P=0;T=90;BIAS=+20] (%bayes% P=0;T=90;Bias=+20)

X-Poco-Score-Detail: +7 [X-POCO-SCORE=+]AND[TO=%EMAIL%]AND[TO=%REPLYTO%]AND[CC=%EMAIL%]AND[CC=%REPLYTO%] (X-Poco-Score +, and To %email%, and To %replyto%, and Cc %email%, and Cc %replyto%)

X-Poco-Score-Detail: +3 [X-MAILER=] (X-Mailer )

X-Poco-Score-Detail: +2 [FROM=%ADDRESSBOOKS%] (From %addressbooks%)

X-Poco-Scored: +2

[SFCurley]

The -10 is saying that PM's Bayesian processing does not think it is junk. The other additives to the score would indicate that it is likely to be junk; the total score is positive, which would indicate overall PM thinks it is junk. Do you let Poco make the move automatically to the junk folder, or do you manually move it yourself in your other filters?

[Guest]

I have it set to move Junk automatically after download.

But I have a group of about twenety clear junk mail in my IN box and have run the TEST on them numerous times today and they come up as NOT junk under any sensetivity ...

Is there any HELP on this ? Has anyone written a FAQ or a guide to the settings ? I have sen reference to the corpus from a 'help' file in one of the threads but in my Help file in Barca there is not a single mention of filtering ot bayesian..

It all worked so perfectly for the last year and now... a mess...

[Guest]

One message moved to Junk has this line:

X-Poco-Score-Exceeds: 12


?

[saoir]

oooops... I mistakenly posted those last two as a guest... they were mine..

[SFCurley]

Can you post all of the junk mail headers for that one (the one that exceeds 12)?

[SFCurley]

. . .and just for my clarification, that one (> 12) , you don't think, should have been junk?

[saoir]

Lost that one, sorry.

This is another piece of junk that is not transferred out of IN to Junk.
