Yes, you miss that a bayesian filter works better when the non-spam traffic is focused on a given argument. If you train on many lists talking on very different topics, maybe even in different languages, a bayesian classifier is less effective. For this reason it's much better to have a separate spam database for each list. Not to mention how cool can be the Mailman UI as a management interface for your filter (e.g. by training on messages held for moderation). This applies to all bayesian filter, not only to SpamAssassin. -- Adde parvum parvo magnus acervus erit -- Ovidio _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
