Often, they've not marked any ham as well as marking spam, or haven't marked enough of either. But those are just common reasons for the enquiry - I'm not going to say that those are the only reasons for bad performance of the plugins. As it stands, I'm one of the (probably) many people for whom the plugins are working just fine. We don't post to the list because we have no problems. I personally use both BayesIt and Bayes Filter Plugin. BayesIT is near-perfect - it gets more than 99% of the spam. Bayes Filter Plugin isn't quite as effective, but that's more because I've only been using it for a while, and not trained it fully yet - it is improving, but I currently use it alongside BayesIT. I find it odd that you think because a few people have problems the system is flawed. Every relay/3rd party solution no doubt has a mailing list or forum, on which practically every user has a problem - or they wouldn't be there. By that measure, I can safely say that all 3rd party systems must be ineffective, because there are so many people having problems... ;-) -- Best regards, Philip mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.5.25 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
