Note that there's a reasonably large risk in setting the threshold/ cutoff below 0.5. Messages that really don't look like anything that has been seen before (or look a lot like both ham and spam) will score around 0.5. So if you get mail from a new source, which is quite different from any other ham, then this could mean that it ends up being a false positive. (The ham/spam balance probably has a large effect on this, as well, I suppose). OTOH, if it works for you, then keep using it. I wouldn't recommend it to others, though. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) 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
