Sure, spam is the same for everybody, but tofu is very very different. For example, Marc sees the words "Howard", "Dean", "campaign" a whole lot more frequently than I do, and I see "chezgeek" and "kbob" more often. Recognizing each user's tofu words separately significantly improves a Bayesian filter's performance, at the cost that every user must train his own filter. Maybe I should give a EUGLUG talk on setting up bogofilter for personal use. I'd need some help from someone who understands POP and IMAP -- I still use /var/spool/mail/$USER as my mail queue. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
