Hey all - I've got two questions:
1- We're running Bayes and DCC on our server, and we've just been running Bayes locally to see how well it works. It's been about three weeks now so I finally really started poring over the results. One thing I noticed that I thought was a particularly interesting anomaly: Bayes caught 100% of what DCC caught. 100%. Without exception - in thousands of messages. The reverse wasn't true at all. That said, I'm wondering if it's redundant to run DCC and Bayes at the same time? From what I understand, DCC is a subscription-based service, so it would be nice to be able to cut that cost out! 2- As some of you may have known from talking with me over the past few weeks, I've been having a difficult time 'selling' my bosses on the idea of Bayes; it simply doesn't seem to do anything new to them. But looking at the data today, I came up with an idea: use Bayes to reduce false positives. That would mean we'd completely nerf the rules that add points to the score, but we'd trust Bayes to subtract points from messages it is confident are ham. I am aware of how silly that sounds. But would it work? We don't have another way to filter out false positives - we've got tons of ways to add points! What do ya'll think?
