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.
There will be a strong correlation, because most users tend to quote the entire e-mail when they reply. Granted, this only affects replies, but if someone is quoting a message you sent to them, Bayes is probably right to score that as ham. - Logan
