I'm not so sure about that. I have only a few hundred hams learned (almost all by hand), and thousands of spams learned (almost all automatically) and everyone here thinks SA has almost supernatural abilities to ferret out the spam and ham. And it's just getting better, the more ham I give it the lower the false positive rate.

I actually told our help desk to tell the users to stop dropping SPAM in the SPAM folder, since the system is auto-learning plenty of +15 spams all by itself. What I need is HAM, and hold the mayo. (groan).

Please correct me if I am wrong.  But I thought I saw a posting a while
back (when 2.50 came out) that doing what you are doing would shift the
balance of the Bayes DB toward one side or another.  I remember someone
clearly stating that you need an equal amount of SPAM and HAM to do
this.
