NAME
dspam_train - train a corpus of mail
SYNOPSIS
dspam_train [ username ] [ spam_dir ] [ nonspam_dir ]
DESCRIPTION
dspam_train is used to train and test a corpus of mail (in maildir
format). This tool will present each message to dspam for a
classification and then retrain only if the message was incorrect. This
provides close to real-world training and should be used 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. This tool can also be
used as a test jig to measure the efficiency and accuracy of a
particular corpus against dspam in a given configuration.
