Any system that requires feedback from the users is flaved IMO. I'm sure our workers have better things to do than train bayes. We just use a global autolearning database, and in our case it works even better as we don't communicate in english. The main point is that SpamAssassin bayes has very small part in scoring (atleast in our setup). Probably 90% of spam is catched with DNSBLs and other rules (gotta love FuzzyOcr!), only few messages are helped with the extra bayes score. Our hit/kill level is as high as 10, and vast majority of the spam has score of 20+. Cheers, Henrik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
