I think we may have indeed found something!

The accented words (ex készül) are being incorrectly transformed by the Bayesian tokenization process. The characters with accents are being replaced by spaces, and this is definetly a problem, as will cause incorrect statistics about words.

Allow us a few more hours to ensure the fix we have in mind will not cause other issues. We will have a patched version shortly.

Thanks for your patience with all of this.

I'm sorry. Even the 2nd time we placed your corpus files in our own live environment, it was populated correctly. It does seem that your type of email traffic is not able to populate the corpus with meaningful statistical values. It is indeed strange that since most of your clean emails are in hungarian, while the spam is in english, that this is not enough to create valid statistical data. However this is the what the data in your database shows.

As a last resport, could you send us a few (a dozen or so) clean emails (in hungarian) that you received? Please note we'll need the original, unmodified email source, so we can try to see if the foreign language is causing any problems.

Let's start with the simplest, which is D. Just zip and email us just one day's worth of logs (today or yesterday for ex) so we can see if there's any major issues immediately visible.]]> Mon, 28 Aug 2006 16:24:14 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=4647&PID=8853&title=bayesian-filer-test-not-working#8853 <![CDATA[Bayesian Filer Test Not working : Roberto, Sadly enough, the logging...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=4647&PID=8851&title=bayesian-filer-test-not-working#8851 Author: Sundance

Roberto,

Sadly enough, the logging was not enabled :( Until your post....

Since then, it is. What should I do now?

A. Send you the logfiles generated since aug 24?

B. Logfiles, and the corpus (which contains data before aug 24 as well)

C. Erase log and corpus NOW, and post both, say, a week later? So they will contain data about the same period of time?

regards,

Sundance
