In addition to Jesse's comments: notice (if you haven't already) that you have only trained on one ham and no spam. This means that *everything* will look like ham (because the classifier doesn't know what anything else looks like). You won't really get results that make a lot of sense until you've trained on at least 5 messages of each type. Note also that it's generally a good idea to keep the number of ham and spam trained roughly balanced, if possible. 2::1 or 1::3 isn't really a problem, but you may get very odd results with 50::1 or 1::200 etc. =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
