I actually thought the same when I read Justin's response. But then I got to thinking about this topic. It was slightly discussed before. I'd like to see it discussed further. Bayes Token vs(or with) a single rule vs(or with) a white/black list. Here is how I believe it works, I could be wrong. A Bayes token will help the overall Bayes score for "spammyness". Then it will give out a single point amount to add. Now weighing the URIs heavier is very nice. The question remains, do you score just off of "spammyness" or would a solid rule be good to add with it? My theory is that an ABL (autoblacklist) or evilrules is very much worth it. While Bayes will score the "Spammyness", a ABL or single rule will simply add more points to known domains. The idea of evilrules was that if you got one of those domains, you might as well add 5 points because it is verified spam and won't be ham. (Unless I screwed it up ;) So while bayes will say a spam is "very spammy", evilrules would say, "This is 99.9% spam certainty" Making a ABL would just automate what I do by hand. My idea again being that the ABL would only read from spam scored very high. So little FP's. Then it could start scoring high (1.0). I'm *gulp* willing to look at code as well and play around. (Did I just say that?!) Also, I'm still fighting for the people that can't use Bayes for some reason. There out there.
