So it looks like I have to reset my Bayes and re-train it. I want to do it properly this time. I will be making sure I personally review every message that our users put into the spam folder first, to make sure they haven't put spam into the wrong folder. However, I have a couple of questions:
 
1) Am I better off to feed it a few emails a day, or wait until I get a few hundred, then feed them all to sa-learn at once? Is there really a difference?
2) How many spams should I feed it? I've heard in some places that 200 is OK, I've heard elsewhere that 10000 or more are needed.
3) Just how 'balanced' should it's diet be? Should I use the same quantity of ham as spam, or can I get away with less ham than spam?
