Indeed, I am wondering why Bayes would be auto-scored at all. By definition, Bayes high scores should match only on spam, low scores should match only on ham. That's not perfect, of course, but it is basically by definition of how Bayes learns. Given that, it seems to me that the Bayes scores should be static, and my experience suggests that 99 or 999 should be scored pretty heavily. (I'd say 00 should be scored negatively heavily, but I get enough FNs with 00 that I don't like that idea... though it probably means my DB is borked or my ham is full of spammy tokens.) > -- > John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ > jhar...@impsec.org FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a jhar...@impsec.org > key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > When people get used to preferential treatment, > equal treatment seems like discrimination. -- Thomas Sowell > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > 4 days until George Washington's 282nd Birthday
