Not directed solely at you, Mumia, just something that I've been meaning to say for weeks now. Know what would really help? If people would stop replying to spam, quoting spam or otherwise legitimizing spam to my bayesian filters. That has to be part of the reason the spam getting through both of my filters (SA and TB). I mean do I consider the replies to spam as ham or spam? If it's ham then it increases the chances of false-negatives in the future. If it's spam then it increases the chances of false-positives in the future. Either way I'm screwed and it seems that every spam to make it through the list is quoted a few times now. :/ -- Steve C.
