Bob,

There are several ways to check this.  First and least efficient, you can manually go through the log files and look for an entry that looks like "04/14/04 17:19:29:451 -- (4288) EMail from mailto:brian@celineclub.com" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - brian@celineclub.com to mailto:user@domain.net" CLASS="ASPForums" TITLE="WARNING: URL created by poster. - user@domain.net matches Bayesian filter - rejected - 100% spam (78ms)"  There is also a program called Sawmill that will read your mail logs and give you some very nice graphical statistics.  Another thing you can do if you only want to see the messages still in quarantine (assuming you have a database is to issue a query directly to the DB such as:

SELECT * FROM "tblQuarantine" WHERE (RejectID = 14)

OR if you just want to return the quantity:

SELECT COUNT(RejectID) FROM "tblQuarantine"
WHERE (RejectID = 14)

I hope this helps

Bob,

Dan was correct in his response. Furthermore, if you'd like to know more about what the various filters are blocking, issuing the following query on the database will provide you more with info on how many emails each filter is blocking.

SELECT     tblQuarantine.RejectID, tblRejectCodes.RejectDesc, COUNT(tblQuarantine.RejectID) AS Total
FROM         tblQuarantine INNER JOIN
                      tblRejectCodes ON tblQuarantine.RejectID = tblRejectCodes.RejectID
GROUP BY tblQuarantine.RejectID, tblRejectCodes.RejectDesc

A few more questions, in order for the bayesian filter to work, do you need to have keyword filtering enabled? Do you need to have the quarantine database enabled?

Also, is there instructions anywhere on how to configure this filter to work?

Bob,

The Bayesian filter "learns" about good and bad emails as SpamFilter receives traffic. What your current filters identify as spam is fed to the learning engine. You should continue to use the filters that you normally use, in any combination so that SpamFilter can learn what they block.

The quarantine database does not need to be active for the Bayesian filter to work.

Configuration on behalf of the admins is minimal. You simply have to select a threshold which indicates the probability of an email to be spam in order to be rejected. The closer the threshold is to 100%, the more an email has to "resemble" your typical spam in order to be rejected. Higher thresholds mean lower false-positives, but also will allow mor spam to slip thru.
