For best results, you should manually train everything, but that is not always practical. I try to manually train bayes for our main company email addresses, but even with a low volume server, I frequently find that I just don't have time to go through all of the messages. I was just trying to point out that regardless of anything else you do, you MUST manually train misclassified mail to keep bayes running well. -- Bowie
