Those two facts are unrelated. Bayes scores based on what is in its token database. The other rules don't affect the score it generates. > Anyone have any suggession? Plz help me. At first glance your bayes appears to be mistrained, however it is possible that the random text in some stock spams will happen to look hammy to your bayes. Does the non-stock-scam text in that message look like your regular legitimate traffic? (1) How often does this happen? (2) How big is your bayes database? (use "sa-learn --dump magic") (3) How are you training your bayes database? Autolearn? Or manual? (4) If manual, do you keep your corpus around after you've trained it? (5) If manual, do you let nontechnical users train it without review? Finally, have you installed any of the SARE rules from www.rulesemporium.com? While not "fixing" a low bayes score, they may counteract it when bayes gets fooled. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ignorance doesn't make stuff not exist. -- Bucky Katt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 days until The 38th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the Moon
