It triggers it, but half the time it goes in Junk Suspects, and I don't really want to strengthen the filter :S

So you get v|codin, v!c0din, etc., etc. - it's a lost cause. My experience (and other SB users') shows that it's better to let SpamBayes tokenize the whole message - since the spammer must tell you more details about the stuff he's hawking, those pieces will most probably trigger SB.

This sort of thing isn't ever likely to make it into SpamBayes (it essentially works by doing this in a cleverer way). However, you can do it manually with Outlook's rules. Just create a rule that looks for (eg) 'vicoden' in the message body, and moves any such message to the same junk folder that SpamBayes uses. Outlook's rules run before SpamBayes, so won't get in the way of this. =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
