Would this meet your requirements? > What I really want is something that will trigger after seeing an > accumulation of spammy words. > OK, understood. I typically use portmanteau to build low scoring rules that are combined by an unchanging meta-rule, e.g. one combines a portmanteau rule that matches selling phrases with another that matches product names. If either portmanteau rule fires on ham it adds something like 0.01 to the score, but if both fire, then the meta rule adds a rather larger score because the chances are quite strong that the messages is trying to sell me something. However, if this isn't what you need, feel free to extend the gawk program to meet your particular needs: hopefully the portmanteau approach will suggest ways for you to implement your specific requirements, not necessarily as an awk/gawk script. As I said, I wrote portmanteau to match my own needs but I also realise that other people have different requirements. Martin
