Well, sure it would be. But frankly, if you want Bayes only, there are several other projects out there to look at... SpamBayes, CRM114, etc, etc. Bayes works fairly well on its own, assuming decent learning, until spammers start attacking the algorithm or the code. Then it kind of falls on its face until the attack is countered. The idea of SA is to use multiple detection systems such that even if one or two don't work, the message will still probably be caught from the others. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Remember, the difference between God and the DBA is that God doesn't think he's a DBA ;)" - Richard Basile
