Sure I may have a custom rule or two ;) A custom rule or 2? I think you may have left a few zeroes off there. I have fewer email users than being discussed, but I do use Bayes across three domains, and I feed ALL spam and MOST ham from all three domains into all three domains. a) It's easier for me to manage, b) Nobody in any of the three domains is concerned about bad credit records, the size of their [mumble], nor how to make millions through humanitarian efforts on the African continent. There are some conflicts -- my father actually buys ink from an organization that /I/ consider a spammer, but since he doesn't, I can't auto-learn those emails as spam. Even with Bayes conflicts like that, I consider Bayes to be one of the most powerful tools I use to fight spam. And with fewer rules than Chris uses, I hit 99.98% of all spam. Bob Menschel
