I just checked my POPfile bucket pages and found it very interesting that, despite spam is only 5.8% of my messages (lucky me, hu?), the "distinct word count" for those spam messages is by far the highest (only messages marked as "genuine/english" come close). I'd interpret that as "spam is *very* recognizable" after a certain training period. That could explain your results with BayesIt - maybe. In practice, I had similar (odd) results with BayesIt. :-) ...part of the reason that made me switch to POPfile... -- Best regards, Alexander Bradley's Bromide: If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into a committee... that will do them in. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
