In general it wouldn't. Aahz didn't tell us everything, or he's
simply not making sense.
Because I still like ;-) the SpamBayes project, I don't do anything to
try to stop receiving spam, and have several email addresses that have
been visible for years. Of the 4456 spam I received via Outlook in
the last 30 days, onlly 3 had "spam" in the From header:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: ".Φ.αΦδ .α±ΩεΓ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: spam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It was much more common among ham, including email from you, from the
spambayes mailing lists, from SORBS, .... If:
The `From:` header contains "spam" as a substring, case-insensitively.
were a feature SpamBayes scored, it would be a strong ham clue in my
training database.

It's OK by me if you keep using it.
