As others have been quick to point out, you need at least 200 of each (200 spam, and 200 ham) before the classifier will work. It's been generally recommended, though, to train with *lots* of ham... as much as you have spam, or even a bit more. This will improve the accuracy of the classifier. This has been my experience, too. So, either find a lot more ham, or don't train with as much spam. - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com 901-1st Avenue North - Saskatoon, SK - S7K 1Y4 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-244-7037 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America
