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.
