The short answer: yes. SpamBayes stores the data it uses to
score messages in a database.
The caveat: some people hang on to a collection of messages
(both spam and ham) for retraining. SpamBayes learns quickly enough that I don't
bother with this. If I discard my training and then train on
training on an error. Likewise if you select a message and click the "Spam" or
"Not Spam" button.

I'd be amazed if it had one. Faxes cost money and SpamBayes is a zero-budget

Just so you know, you sent your message to a

direction).If this is the case, whether it happens or not depends on how

SpamBayes delays processing of incoming messages to allow Outlook rules
to have a chance to run before they're classified. (This is something
of a hack, as there doesn't seem to be any way to guarantee that
Outlook's rules run before classification, so you can tune the delay
time.) If you create
If you (or anyone else) trains on messages with that tag line, that

whether the trainer thinks such messages are ham or spam (or some
combination). It seems to me that this is as it should be. Whether or

It's quite alive. There's little active work being done on it, however,
because a) it's quite mature and functional and b) key developers have
other priorities at present. Given how well it works, I think that in
this case silence is golden. (Except that 1.1 has not been released,
