Yesterday, I grabbed several such mailboxes.
Before working on them, I passed the messages through CRM114, which I
already use for a while to set scores on my incoming messages:
zcat debian-boot.200608.gz | formail -s /usr/bin/crm -u /home/bubulle/.crm114/ mailfilter.crm >> debian-boot.200608.scored
That creates a new "scored" mailbox where messages have additionnal
headers, including:
X-CRM114-Status: Good ( pR: 161.9126 )
or
X-CRM114-Status: UNSURE (1.1278) This message is 'unsure'; please train it!
or
X-CRM114-Status: SPAM ( pR: -15.1978 )
In my .muttrc, I have this:
color header white black ^X-CRM114-Status:.*Good.*
color header blue black ^X-CRM114-Status:.*SPAM.*
color header red black ^X-CRM114-Status:.*UNSURE.*
Then I read this mailbox with mutt.....
"unsure" messages appear in cyan and "sure" spams appear in red.
Then, I can "tag" messages ('T' in mutt's default keymapping) easily
by using the colors as a helper (of course I *do* check for false
positives) and also go through messages identified as "non
spam".....and tag those that are actually spam.
Then, all these tagged messages are piped to my "report list spam"
macro....and also identified as spam to CRM114 (pipe them to
"$HOME/.crm114/mailfilter.crm -u $HOME/.crm114/ ss-pam --force"
Then, all "good" messages are identified as ham to CRM114.
As a conclusion, I found this method quite more efficient than using
the web interface....and, of course, it allows working offline, which
is a must-have for me.
