From: "Joe Zitnik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Our scanning program has the ability to archive all e-mail, both inbound and outbound, which we have been doing for months now. Given that your outbound mail is almost certainly ham, the majority of it's content is going to be specific to our business sector, wouldn't feeding outbounds through bayes manually be a win win situation? Am I oversimplifying things, or am I missing something with that logic?
If the terms in the outbound mail are likely to be the same as acceptable terms on the inbound mail that may be true. If your outbound mail you have captured is not all pure business it might reduce the Bayes accuracy somewhat. It might introduce a huge mismatch between ham and spam, also. And it might introduce potential issues with email privacy on the outgoing emails if you save them for a mass feed. {^_^}
