This is commonly known as "n-way classification". If you're really after it, then I would recommend that you give POPfile a try (there is an Outlook plug-in, I believe). You should get pretty good results. <http://getpopfile.org> Changing SpamBayes to do this is covered in these feature request trackers: [ 799149 ] Extend the reach of the Add-In to general e.Mail sorting <http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=799149&group_id=61702&atid= 498106> [ 844796 ] SpamBayes as mail manager? <http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=844796&group_id=61702&atid= 498106> There's a script that does basic n-way classification in the source distribution of SpamBayes, but it's not of any use to Outlook users. However, (to steal words from the expert, Tim), SpamBayes is inherently a binary (2-way) classifier, and exploits that in ways that don't generalize straightforwardly (if at all) to N-way classification. =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
