Description Pedrum Mohageri 2004-08-20 14:58:27 UTC 
I don't think bayes filtering is occuring but I can't tell why. I've looked at
the code (not a perl expert!). The sorted array is empty for some reason. I've
put some dbg statements around the next statement. Do I not have enought
"tokens" to be processed (see nham/nspam)?


In Bayes.pm around line 1077.

    dbg ("before check $pw");
    next if (abs($pw - 0.5) < $self->{robinson_min_prob_strength});
    dbg ("after check $pw");
    push (@sorted, $pw);

spamassassin -D --lint returns:

Comment 1 Theo Van Dinter 2004-08-20 17:19:17 UTC 
"debug: cannot use bayes on this message; db not initialised yet" means that the tokens that were 
found in the message weren't found in your bayes db or that they weren't polarized enough to be 
useful, so SA can't generate a probability for the message.

BTW: In 3.0, the debug message was changed to a more descriptive:

cannot use bayes on this message; none of the tokens were found in the database
