Well if you are learning it as spam and not ham then it will push up
the probablity of the words contained in the spam. So mail with those
words is most likely to be affected with Bayes. so you may want to
reduce the score of the bayes rules if you think they are not going to
be accurate. Or start your Bayes database again.

Over the past several months I have been saving the spam that slips through
to my users accounts to train my bayes with.  I notice that lately almost
all of it has (what I am assuming to be) an attempt to poison my bayes (a
bunch of valid words put together in a nonsensical paragraph) at the bottom
of it.

How much should I worry about this type of spam and how it will affect my
bayes db?  Work arounds?  Advice?

Thanks, gang.
