Background; I've been using Spambayes for a while, it starts out good, quickly is trained to great, but at some critical point drops to crud.
At the great state, I get no false positives, and the false negatives/uncertains are low. But spammers change their tactics and I have too keep training to keep SB in the great state, until at one point it gets overtrained and *everything* pretty much goes into spam and I just get the few (1-5%) false negatives, and some mailing list stuff, in my box. (1) Is there any way to whitelist email addresses? The only address I get spam from regularly is when they spoof mine. (2) Can values be modified and locked? For example, I'm part of several mailing lists which tag their emails, [PyQt], [PHP], [PHP-WIN], [SDL], etc. I would like to be able to mark those tags, and some common keywords things like that as 'minimal spam probability]. Add to that some keywords I know I'll never see in a legitimate email, I wouldn't mind fast-fowarding them to the 'this is a spam word' state. Please CC me any responses, as I am not on the list. Thank you, -Jim Stapleton _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
