I know that the whole point of spambayes is so that everybody can train their db based on what they think is ham or spam. This is great. But hear me out. While I was trying to figure out the best way to setup training for all of my users I started thinking about this.
I ended up creating a shared db for all of my users. I will update that db based on my spam (since I get the most) and if they have any complaints, I will train the db with their inbox or spam folder when needed. This is working out quite well, we are getting most of our spam in our spam folder. But I got to thinking about spam filtering in gmail. They have a fairly good spam filtering system (I dont know if they use spambayes or not). They already have a system that is generic. Wouldn't it be possible to create a generic db that a normal person can use to block most of his spam? We have to agree that no spam filter will be 100% accurate. Because of that, I think a generic db would be a good idea. Does anybody on this list think that this is a good idea? Should we have a db somewhere that people can download and use and we can update it once in a while based on new spam thats being sent around?
