OK - still trying to get you all to realize and comprehend the idea of having
more than one bayesian filter.
Picture this .....
You extract phonenumbers from messages and to do a bayesian filter on JUST PHONE
NUMBERS. It's the ultimate white rule!
A lot of people who email put their phone number in their sig line. Once the
filter learns all your friends and associates phone numbers then every time you
get a message with that phone number in it - it's a "this is not spam" flag.
And - it might catch a little bit of spam from spammers who use phone numbers.
But this is mostly a white rule because spammers don't know the phone numbers of
your friends.
So - if you grasp the concept of how this might be really accurate then think
about adding email addresses within a message - or links? But - nothing else.
I'm testing this concept now and it's working EXTREMELY well. So - this is the
next breakthrough in spam (or ham) detection. And there's nothing like some
really good white rules to make up for the errors in the other rules.
What I'm testing now is using only headers (enhanced information headers) and
from the body only phone numbers, all links (including links to graphics) and
email addresses.
