SPAM Filter Tutorial
Training the SPAM system
Set your mail program to leave messages on the server
for three days. This way, once downloaded, they will still be available
in this list. You will need a library of messages for effective training.
Look through the list and mark SPAM messages by putting a checkmark in the
empty box (on the right). Double check what you just did and click
on the "It's SPAM" button at the top of the list. After all spam messages
have been marked, go through and mark the non-spam messages and click on
the "It's Not SPAM" button.
It is very important to mark both types of messages, spam and non-spam, since the system
has to know which messages are allowed. Do this for several days and you will be amazed
at how well it works. After processing several hundred messages, the system will become
remarkably good at catching junk. Repeat this process as necessary once every few months
to keep it effective and always double check for false positives.
Congratulations! You are on the way to a spam free mailbox!
