-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, I don't keep ANY of the spam I get on my server and I only keep the spam I download off the server for about a day or so. Its going to be tough to train it. Would it be practical to have the filter learn the spams as they are tagged? I run my own mail server with about four users and we get very little false positives.
Otherwise I won't be able to train it...? ........................................... Randomly Generated Quote: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
