Training on errors is probably the best way to proceed. You may be surprised how quickly SpamBayes learns. You could train on old spam if you've held onto it, but if you've reduced the volume of spam that dramatically, the content of what gets through may be different from what used to get through, so such bulk training might not be useful. Likewise, training on someone else's corpus of spam is not likely to do you much good. Think of the manual training as the price you pay for your phenomenal success in reducing your spam.
Just out of curiosity, how did you knock it down so radically? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of KD5NWA > Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 9:32 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Spambayes] Spam Database available? > > I'm trying to train SpamBayes after the database got > compromised, a problem > I'm having is right now is that I get about 1 Spam for about 400 Ham > emails, at this rate it will take a long time to train the database. > > I use to get 80% Spam on my email so it wouldn't take long to > train the > database, but after trying some things to eliminate Spam my > Spam rate is > down to .025% of the emails I receive. > > My question is there available a collection of recent SPAM emails > available that I can access to train SpamBayes? > > Cecil Bayona > KD5NWA > www.qrpradio.com > > 'Never argue with an idiot.
