dspam_train(1)

📦 version 3.10.2, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is dspam_train from the DSPAM manual — yes, dspam_train(1), the train-a-corpus-of-mail bestie 💌

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dspam_train [username] [--client] [-i index|spam_corpus nonspam_corpus]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

dspam_train is used to train and test a corpus of mail (in maildir or MBOX format). It presents each message to DSPAM for a classification, and then retrains only if the message was incorrect. That's giving close-to-real-world training, and you should use it to build pretrained databases. 🫶

Upon execution, the tool will automatically determine the ratio of spam:nonspam and train based on that ratio to ensure both corpora are trained consecutively. It can also be used as a test jig to measure the efficiency and accuracy of a particular corpus against DSPAM in a given configuration. periodt. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --client — If specified, DSPAM is used in client-server mode. Also, the raw source page literally smooshes it as --clientIf — that exact string, bestie. It's formatting chaos, not a secret second flag. 💀
  • username — Specifies the user to train; if omitted, the current user name is used.
  • -i index — Use a index file instead of the usual spam_corpus and nonspam_corpus.
    • index : Path to the index file having the following format per line:
[class] [path to message]
  • spam_corpus — Specifies either the pathname to the directory containing the corpus of spam, with each in a separate file (e.g. maildir format), or a path to the mailbox in the traditional Unix MBOX format.
  • nonspam_corpus — Specifies either the pathname to the directory containing the corpus of nonspam with each message in a separate file, or a path to the mailbox in the traditional Unix MBOX format.

🌈 EXIT VALUE 🌈

  • 0 — Operation was successful.
  • other — Operation resulted in an error.
