If you keep the source of your bayes messages in a Notes DB, then you should have had enough ham to retrain your bayes with, no? Bigger problem: bayes can only learn what it's taught. If you have ham that really should be trained, and because of privacy issues it should not be kept after training, then you really should develop a system which will enable you to train without retaining. Bayes works best when properly and fully trained, not just trained on "those unimportant non-private emails are ham". I can't make recommendations on how to do so in your system, but you'll get better results from bayes if you figure out how to manage it. Bob Menschel
