I cannot speak as an expert on this score, but my understanding is that a "combination" of such Bayesian databases would likely do more harm than good because the residual spam corpus that would get through the general SA filtering would be very specific to the recipient.
That is, combining databases would very likely result in a HIGHER instance of false positive/false negative, so that you'd actually be WORSE OFF than if you just let the nature of the Bayesian process take its course with each separate recipient. I'd be interested to see other responses, though, by people who know more than I do about the guts of this algorithm. William L. Polhemus, Jr. P.E.
