Spamhalter has been working since 2012 without any problems.
Suddenly two days ago all emails that used to be detected and placed
in a junk folder no longer get detected. The traffic light is green
for all messages..
I can find no way of reseting spanhalter. I have 'cleaned' the
database to no effect.
Here's what system messgaes show whem pmail v4.73 is started.
Tue, 14:36:02 Loading local legacy folders from cache file...
Tue, 14:36:02 Spamhalter beysian plugin 4.5.2.180 started.
Tue, 14:06:02 Spamhalter message size limit is: 250000 bytes
Tue, 14:36:02 Spamhalter database size is: 17758 tokens
Tue, 14:06:03 Program started
How do I get the spamhalter 'plugin' to start working again?

spamhalter = enabled
train always selected
spam level (%) = 80
not spam boost = 2
Clean up has been done as a trial to get it to work.
'Purge database records older than' 180 ' days',
'Purge preview' gives result 0 out of 17758 records will be removed.

using "train always" database size is not a problem.
Lastly, you can set SH to build a log. With Pmail shut down open its
settings file WI_sph.ini and change the line debug=0 to debug=1. If
it is already 1 then you already have a WI_sph.log file in your home
mailbox folder. Maybe it may give you a hint of what is going wrong.

no usable data (i.e. corrupt). I'd discard it (don't delete, rename
words4.db3 to words4.db3.bak), of course with Pmail shut down.
If you have a backup of it, use it in place. That will save training
time. If not, I can send you mine. It is not the ideal world but
again will save you training time. Let me know.
Lastly, change SpamHalter setting "Train always (larger database,
self-trained)" to "Train on classification errors only (smaller
database)". This will save you disk space and (more important) data
processing time. Use this setting even if you're using your own
corpus backup.
Below is how your SpamHalter log should look:

Thanks. Pegasus mail here is a two user mail system. The other user,
my wife stopped using it over a year ago, hence I have copied her
word4.db3 file, date 25082018 ( when the spamhalter was definitely
working), to my C\PMAIL\MAIL\aml directory. Is this action
satisfactory?
Spamhalter is enabled and train on smaller database selected.
Now it is wait and see for a couple of days or so.

first action (Ctrl+1) moves messages into "Suspicious or junk mail"
folder telling SpamHalter they are evil. OTOH fourth action (Ctrl+4)
moves out messages from "Suspicious or junk mail" to an outside
folder. You can use "New mail folder" for this, considering that if
message is marked "Unread" it will be taken care (auto-magically) by
your New mail filtering rules as they are arriving from a POP3
session. If message is marked "Read" it will rest on your NMF waiting
for your manual action.
Moving messages in to and out of "Suspicious or junk mail" is the
best and most effective way to train SpamHalter, as stated by its
author Lukas Gebauer. Of course marking them as this or that either
from the traffic light button or context menu will also do, but as
Lukas told me once, moving them add extra emphasis on training and so
SpamHalter will respond faster to that.

addresses in the Global whitelist which shouldn't be there. Deleting
individual entries will take many hours. Is there way to delete all
entries with "one stroke of the prn" (enter key ! ).
I am prepared to start again with a balnk whitelist

(POPFile) I realized that either whitelists and blacklists should be
abandoned for good as it would compromise the more effective filter
-- the Bayesian one. That said, blacklists, whitelists, content
control, etc are all turned OFF here in favor of SpamHalter. Sorry if
I didn't advise this at first time but that's because it is taken as
mandatory here. My bad.
I thought once to use this white/blacklist's entries as a form or
SpamHalter auto-training but again I realized that it would foul my
corpus by the same reason: addresses are easily spoofed.
Anyway, these list are plain text files. Here they are named
BLACK.pml, WHITE.pml, and WHITE.pm. Look at your home mailbox folder
after them. Those with the .PML extension have a title line like
\TITLE Junkmail Whitelist or \TITLE Junkmail Blacklist.

after that it will spot ham and spam very accurately. The use of
Quick Actions make the task yet easier.

You're very welcome.

Latest update. I never use a blacklist, I just use filters to sort
incoming mail to wherever I want it, including 'delete'. White list
cleared out and number of records set to zero (help says that stops
the white list being used, so outgoing mail does not add an entry).
Now incoming mail triggers spamhalter. So all I have to do now is
check all incoming mail and train spamhalter on false positives and
negatives. Not a problem.
Thanks for all your help.

Great news! Glad it sorted out. Anyways, maybe you should also try

either the PM-WIN mailing list or the Community Forum. I think
there's not many Pmail people here on the Usenet. I'm fond of the
mailing list but David Harris and the Beta Testers are pushing hard
for the forum. Many of them are today forum-only users.
