And the random text goes on a while more. You can not train a filter on random text! If we do, it will match randomly or not at all :-(
I wonder about that... I see more and more of these going to trash and no false positives. I haven't had a false positive in months.
I've been sending these bayes poision thru sa-learn and at the same time half expecting false positives to start increasing, yet all I see is more effective detection of these random text files and still zero false positives.
Ah, well, then I'll persevere training sa-learn. I get a number of them, not flagged as spam. Those containing normal text plus random text are detected, but those with only random text (and a link) are not - yet?
The thing about random text, is it will likely include words never used in my normal email such as "phrasemake".
Gosh, I though you had made it up, till I found "phrasemake" on the text I pasted -- you looked hard at it, eh? :-o X-) But you can not count on that too much, if several languages are involved (as in my case). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
