Hi all,
I am a little bit confused about the html parsing that spamprobe does. In the main description of how spamprobe works it is said that html tags are ignored.
However, I am attaching an example of a recent spam email I received.
This is included within the <body> of the message:
<STYLE> said Gervasio, relate to others and activities plenty of time when they can Atlanta, Georgia.said Gervasio, children are plopped in
Here's some soothing </STYLE>
and this is the result of spamprobe by using the scoring -T option:
Spam Prob Count Good Spam Word
0.9999990 1 0 2920 padding
0.9999973 1 0 999 0px
0.9999931 1 0 388 men

0.9999704 1 0 90 soothing
0.9999694 1 0 87 2px
0.9999675 1 0 82 said gervasio
It is clear that spamprobe is using these "hidden" words as part of the classification.
How can I make spamprobe avoid using words that do not appear to the final user?
I know that in this case, spamprobe classifies the message as spam, but I am not sure it will classify messages correctly the next time.
thanks,
Alvaro
