How do you propose to solve the problem of "one man's spam is another's ham"?
While a bayesian network properly trained by a single user is highly
effective, one cannot simply copy that bayesian network for use of another
user and expect the same effectiveness.
Furthermore, won't a public Bayes Corpus also require significant (and
representative) amount of ham? Even after the ham has been tokenized...
This raises the questions of privacy and various cans of worms ...
