[dspam-users] Merged groups and classification groups

Hi,

I could be getting all this wrong, but I'm not sure if I'm
understanding how I'm supposed to set these groups up properly. What
I want to achieve in my environment is this:

We have a global dictionary that is a classification source of last
resort for anyone -- if they haven't got enough data or the filter
isn't too certain about the result it's coming up with. We'll call
this group global-class. If a new user comes along, and they don't
have enough tokens in their dictionary, dspam will consult global-
class for an answer as to the class of the message.

Three users in the system (call them foo, bar and quux) will be the
ones who'll feed global-class. They've already got data in their
dictionaries, so I'd be using dspam_merge to merge all this into
global-class. For every message that any of these three accounts
recieve, the tokens extracted from it will go into global-class'
dictionary, and the signature will belong to global-class (so that if
it's misclassified, and they forward it to spam@domain or
notspam@domain to retrain it, it relearns it in global-class'
dictionary).

Now, to achieve all of this, I think that what I would need to have in
$DSPAM_HOME/group would be:

global-class:merged:foo,bar,quux
global-class:classification:*

And the merge command line would be:

% dspam_merge foo bar quux -o global-class

And the stuff with the signatures and relearning should Just Work
(assuming I already have these working in my system, which I do), or
am I missing something here? I'm not sure.

Regards,

Adrian
