Hi, Skip. Thanks for your help. My virus definitions are updated daily, but it's always possible for something to get through. As far as my having approved this message as ham 300 times, I rather doubt it. Given the bizarre content, the likelihood that I marked it as ham even once is rather remote. Yes, I know the statistics say that I did, but theirs is absolutely no way that this happened. What is more likely, however, is that it dropped into my inbox over 300 times, and Spambayes failed to recognize it for what it was, so that in each case I manually deleted it as spam, but the program never trained on it--which is what my original message was about--that despite my marking these messages as spam, the program never catches them. Remember--given the content of the message, it is highly unlikely that I marked it as ham even once, let alone 300 times.

Looks like it was a message that contained a virus: Eric> 'virus:src="cid:' 0.775585 304 1228 If that's the case, a) you need to update your virus definitions to recognize it, and b) you've apparently approved similar messages as ham over 300 times. With as many hams and spams as you have in your training database: Eric> # ham trained on: 4041 Eric> # spam trained on: 4721 I'm going to guess you probably have a few mistakes in there. You might want to try training from scratch.
