One solution would be to count the number of distinct odd combinations found, then score depending on that. As an example, look at how Nigerian scam mails are identified - a whole series of __NIGERIAN_BODY_nn rules, then a check to see if more than one of those was hit. In this case, you might want a different score depending on how many different 'unusual' combinations were hit - if you start at (say) 3, then you minimise the chances of FPs from rare words like blitzkrieg, etc. Martin -- Martin Radford | "Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | men just upload their important stuff -o) Registered Linux user #9257 | on ftp and let the rest of the world /\\ - see http://counter.li.org | mirror it ;)" - Linus Torvalds _\_V ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
