I'm checking these out now. >2) I found best results here if I bucked up the BAYES_99 rule to 5 > points. So far I have not seen that trigger a ham message with per > user Bayes.

As for per-user Bayes, I'm afriad that's simply out of the question. I have one user who still won't use subject lines, and another who hasn't figured out how to address e-mail yet (she just uses Reply). Seriously. Trying to explain Bayes filtering would be an exercise in futility. I have to provide a server-side solution and manage it myself, or do nothing at all. >3) 3.0.4 is out. It installs nicely.

If so, I might take a shot at upgrading later this month or next, when I get the time. -- James Bucanek <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
