The operative question here is, "Do you really want to use Bayes in a site-wide mode with everyone trying to train it?" To that question, I'll submit a "no" answer. Bayes is best done on a per-user basis because everyone's spam/ham profile looks (smells?) a bit different and that's where Bayes excels. I hold the opinion that a plain "naked" SA (sans Bayes) is best for site-wide filtering coupled with per-user client-side Bayes. If you _really_ want to run site-wide-common Bayes, your users will need to "train into" that 600-mode database as "nobody". One possible way might be to make the bayes database available to the masses at your site and run sa-learn SUID as "nobody"; but(!) that may introduce locking problems if multiple users try to train the filter at the same time. +------------------------------------------------+---------------------+ | Carl Richard Friend (UNIX Sysadmin) | West Boylston | | Minicomputer Collector / Enthusiast | Massachusetts, USA | | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------+ | http://users.rcn.com/crfriend/museum | ICBM: 42:22N 71:47W | +------------------------------------------------+---------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
