Tony, You say, "The real strength of filters like SpamBayes is that the filter learns what the individual considers good & bad mail ". I agree that some unsolicited mails would be treated subjectively, but I can't really envision anyone considering the offers for v***ra, v***din, low mortgage rates and Italian-crafted Rolex for $10 to be good mail...oh yeah, forgot the enlargement of certain body parts
Maybe SB should be installed with a default DB of those terms - would certainly save some initial training of the really obvious crap.

Yes; please see FAQ 3.6: <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#can-i-share-move-my-training-data-from-one-co mputer-to-another> However, note that this is only advisable if both users share (roughly) the same opinions about what is and what is not good mail. The real strength of filters like SpamBayes is that the filter learns what the individual considers good & bad mail. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
