Hii
Can any body tell me when does Bayes00 gives the score. Is it
1) If a mail has a lot of tokens that Bayes has never seen before.
or
2) If the mail has a lot of tokens that Bayes has previously learnt has spam.
The reason of my weird question is that recently I have suddenly started recieving a huge chunk of Payroll Spams from Indian spammers and my Bayes always gives them a score of -4.9. And after individually giving feedback of every mail i manage to get some better score from bayes on these mails. I think my bayes is badly poisoned, however i need to give a good explaination to my Boss before i nuke my bayes and start all over again.
You will only see the bayes_00 score when sa is VERY sure that the email is ham. That is, there are many tokens in the email that sa has seen before in ham and there are very few tokens in the email that sa has seen in spam. Remember it can only go on what it knows. If it thinks Indian spam is ham then i'd say yes, your db appears to be kaput.
