Hello,

i have fedora core 5 system, kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp, berkeleydb 4.3,
gsl-1.8, and trying to get bogofilter 1.0.2 operating.

I posted this earlier, and was told to seed the wordlist.db with a few spam
and ham messages.  okay, i did, but now i can not get spamicity to go
greater than 0.520000.

i have feed three known spam messages and three known ham messages into
wordlist.db like so:

Unsure-to-Spam:
/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -d .bogofilter -s -B INBOX/somemessage#1
/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -d .bogofilter -s -B INBOX/somemessage#2
/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -d .bogofilter -s -B INBOX/somemessage#3


Unsure-to-Ham:
/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -d .bogofilter -n -B INBOX/somemessage#4
/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -d .bogofilter -n -B INBOX/somemessage#5
/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -d .bogofilter -n -B INBOX/somemessage#6

and then I check each message with:

/usr/local/bin/bogofilter -e -p -c bogofilter.cf -d .bogofilter -B
INBOX/somemessage

and the messages that i classified as Ham come back with spamicity of around
0.003067, which is what I expected.
however,  the messages that i classified as Spam all come back with
spamicity of 0.520000, which is not correct.

the Spam messages never vary in spamicity, they are always 0.520000.

what am i doing wrong here?

Thanks,

murrah boswell
