You must train first. The Bayes filter is only as good as its training.
Segregate out 200 or more known good messages and 200 or more known bad
messages. (More is better.) Feed the ham messages to "sa-learn --ham"
and the spam messages to "sa-learn --spam". Then, basically, it should
start working. It'll work better the more you feed it. And do NOT mix
up spam and ham in your training. Furthermore if your "mail boxes" are
in single files for multiple messages, mbox format" you must add the
"--mbox" option ot both "sa-learn" invocations above.
