www.spamassassin.org

~/bin/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60/sa-learn --mbox --spam ~/mail/spam
~/bin/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60/sa-learn --mbox --spam ~/mail/spam-bad

spam-bad is differentiated because it gets >15 marks, so it gets deleted
immediatly after learning. (see the docs in the package)

but make sure to teach the baesyan about your regular email first, the
number of "ham" must be >= "spam" or your risk losing legitmate email. I
use my inbox as "ham" (that's around 10000 messages).

this is the status of my db

0.000          0        688          0  non-token data: nspam
0.000          0       9722          0  non-token data: nham

see now what it returns for these >100k viruses (Bayesian spam
probability is 99 to 100%)

The original message was not completely plain text, and may be unsafe to
open with some email clients; in particular, it may contain a virus,
or confirm that your address can receive spam.  If you wish to view
it, it may be safer to save it to a file and open it with an editor.
