Who else is using the Bayesian classifier from the current 2.50-cvs?  What 
kind of results is it giving you?

I fed the learner about 2700 spams and 5600 non-spams, taking special care
to give it all the false-negatives I've been squirreling away.

I then re-checked 169 of those same false negatives (happened to be the
contents of one spam mailbox); 31 messages scored over 9 because of
non-Bayes rule changes since 2.40, so I ignored those.

Of the remaining 138:

63 were still NOT classified as spam (45.7%).
75 were correctly classified as spam (54.3%).

Not bad, but not as good as I'd hoped.  No message got less than BAYES_60,
which I expected since they were messages it learned on.  7 messages
scored ONLY on BAYES_* rules, but of course even BAYES_99 (two messages
scored only on that) isn't worth 5 points.

Since then SA has processed 72 new spam messages and a couple of dozen
non-spam (I don't keep count of those), but none where the BAYES_* rule
caused the total score to cross the 5-point boundary in either direction.  
It has sent a few slightly-above-zero scores into the negatives for the
non-spam, but that doesn't really help.

Just curious how this compares to what others are seeing.
