I was referring to the spam that makes it past the filter that has many in the 40-80% range. It's difficult to know if there is an imbalance because I haven't compared the vast majority that get dropped completely. I think it still stands to reason, though, that Bayes should be considered an additional calculation independant of the other rules (i.e. use scoreset #1 and then add Bayes). This is because it can add weightings in both directions. If it would only weight "towards" spam, then you'd need to adjust the other rules too, but that's not the case. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
