Turning off adaptive scoring selectively


I would like to
- Turn off adaptive scoring for one usenet group
or even better
- Turn off adaptive scoring for one sender in one newsgroup

How to do it?


Solution

  • Look in the Gnus documentation, under Scoring/Score File Format.

    ‘adapt’
    This entry controls the adaptive scoring. If it is ‘t’, the default adaptive scoring rules will be used. If it is ‘ignore’, no adaptive scoring will be performed on this group. If it is a list, this list will be used as the adaptive scoring rules. If it isn’t present, or is something other than ‘t’ or ‘ignore’, the default adaptive scoring rules will be used. If you want to use adaptive scoring on most groups, you’d set ‘gnus-use-adaptive-scoring’ to ‘t’, and insert an ‘(adapt ignore)’ in the groups where you do not want adaptive scoring. If you only want adaptive scoring in a few groups, you’d set ‘gnus-use-adaptive-scoring’ to ‘nil’, and insert ‘(adapt t)’ in the score files of the groups where you want it.
