I've been lurking the SA lists since I installed SA on a production
machine a while back. While SA did a surprisingly accurate job on
detecting English language spam, it did not succeed very well on German
language spam, which I keep getting increasing amounts of lately. I've
got a lousy results with out of the box scores, very few spam is acually
cought.
What is the strategy with respect to foreign language spam recognition
in SA? I've seen extremely few non-english rules. Is there foreign
language rule development going on? Has anybody done work on German
spam?
In any case, I've started spam/nonspam corpi consisting of only German
(and Swiss-German, respectively) messages, to be able to help with
German rules. Anybody willing to contribute to the corpus feel free to
resend/bounce German spam in a sane way to spam@roe.ch . I cannot be
bothered to subscribe to SAsightings just for the odd German spam every
hundred++ messages.. how about a list for foreign language spam
sightings?
Has anybody done this before or am I on the edge of duplicating effort
here?
I've been thinking on this a bit. I think it would be best if there
would be general provisions for foreign language rules. In the spirit of
the ok_languages option; let users easily enable or disable rules in
certain languages. Like a foreign_rules option which could be used to
control which foreign rulesets are active. Usually people would want to
use checks in all languages which are in the ok_languages list.
Is there any development or are there plans along those lines? Are there
other people willing to contribute to effective spam filtering rules in
German language?
Any kind of feedback is welcome, even flames ;)
Cheers,
Dan
