Re: The Maia 2.0 Wishlist/Brainstorming Thread

Robert,

Thank you for your reply and for bringing your expertise back to the fore.

I guess that helps on number 3 but sounds like it could be done more flexibly such as per user in a new Maia?

Also on number 4 - you are correct about spam lists, I was thinking about the whitelist/blacklist maintenance.

Cheers.
-Larry

Thanks Larry!

Just a couple of notes about (3) and (4), which are already in Maia 1.x.

For (3), I remember we added “auto-confirm” thresholds for spam and ham at one point, but it wasn’t configurable from the web interface, it had to be configured (globally) in the configuration file for the process-quarantine.pl script (i.e. /etc/maia/maia.conf).  For instance:

# If Bayes training is enabled, automatically learn items
# with extreme scores, even without user confirmation.
# Set these values conservatively, or undef to disable.

$autolearn_ham_threshold = -5;
$autolearn_spam_threshold = 10;
$autoreport_spam_threshold = 15;

As for (4), you can set all of the items on a given page to spam, non-spam, or delete just by selecting the column header.

3. On the web interface, It would be nice to have the system "auto-process" messages above or below a certain score threshold.  Rarely would a "suspected spam" message with a score of 40 really need me to "rescue" it from spam.  So, if I could tell maia to auto process messages that were above a 15 (or whatever number works for my message patterns), it would make the volume of spam I had to look at and confirm via the website much lower.

4. Also on the web interface, it would be helpful to allow the ability to toggle the status of every page of emails to a different status instead of having to change each message from spam to ham and vice versa.  It doesn't happen that often, but if there is a misconfiguration or for some reason Maia quarantines a bunch of emails, being able to toggle all 'suspected SPAM' to "non-spam" all at once would be very helpful.
