But I thought that was the point of the bayes system. You keep teaching a sampling of the current spam and ham you get and it expires older entries as they exceed a certain time period. Which in itself tells me that the spammer could then go back to their "old" tricks and get around the defenses until the system re-learns those tricks. -- Scot L.
