Chris, I hear you, but from my view Bayes is best allowed to handle both the obvious and the non-obvious. If Bayes will recognize the DVD copiers (recent DVD spam matched BAYES_70, 90, 90, 90, 90, 80, 90, 90), then I'm freed up from having to worry about this type of rule and can concentrate on other things. - From my point of view, spam detection should be handled by 1) distributed rules (with a few score modifications if appropriate) 2) DSNBLs 3) Bayes 4) blacklists (I haven't praised William Stearns' collection in the last five minutes, have I?) 5) personal rules You'll notice that 3, 4, and 5 happen to be in increasing order by the time required to implement them.
