Testing shows katastrophy

[Boris 'pi' Piwinger]

Hi!

OK, so now I use 0.10 with the Fisher algorithm.

I rebuilt my database from about 15000 ham and 4000 spam mails:
rm -f ~/.bogofilter/*
cat ham* | bogofilter -n
cat spam* | bogofilter -s

Then I tested the same mail files (min_dev=0.2):
cat spam* | formail -es bogofilter -v | grep '^X-Bogosity:'

The result: Only 54 (sic!) were detected as spam.
I stopped the ham test at 12000, there were no false positives.

So basically no mail was detected as spam.


So now a retest with min_dev=0.1:
Now only 57 are recognized as spam. So this is a total faliure.

Same result for 0.0.

So bogofilter fails completely. What's going on? How can I
find out?

Over night, I received about 25 spams. None of which were
detected by bogofilter (almost all by my .procmailrc:-)).
Upon correction about half of them were recognized.

SNAFU
