Are there any "starter" ham/spam emails I can use? I thought I saw one, but it wasn't for a MySQL database. Im using Bayes, site wide, in mysql. I hate to feed it emails I think is ham or spam.

I'd say a well trained bayed db is *very* worthwhile. > As for "bayes poison", I don't think it exists in the sense it's being > used here. Almost every spam I've got with long, random paragraphs in > it There is no inherent Bayes poison that can be placed in spam to poison the database. However, sufficiently large numbers of mistrained messages amount to leaving the Bayes database in a poisoned state that leaves it basically ineffective. In that case it's better to toss the bad Bayes training out and retrain from the start. {^_^}
