+ | |||
+ | There are a number of ways to achieve high statistical ratings, but they will vary from person to person as we all get different types of email. Here are a few of these: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Bucket Distinction// | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Training Consistency// | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Magnet Use//. One way of getting artifically higher statistics is to use a magnet if you know for a fact that a message from a particular sender or with a particular subject will always be indicative of a specific type of mail. Using a magnet to send particular types of mail into a specific bucket bypasses the automatic classifier all together. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * // | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Message Length//. Most email tends to be long enough to give POPFile enough data to work on. Usually POPFile can find enough classification data in the headers if the body content is very light. There are also pseudoword indicators that can help POPFile to determine the classification in these cases, for example if the message just contains an image, as many spam do. Extremely short emails are particularly tough to deal with and may appear as unclassified. | ||
