Just stumbled upon a statement the other day which indicated the
scikit.learn package has a classification subsystem. Might be worth reading
up on it, even if it turns out not to be useful here.

Thanks for responding Mark. As you indicated, SpamBayes has been on
long-term hiatus. The biggest impressive for me are a) Gmail does a good
job, and b) I've so far been unable to convince anyone with Windows
packaging experience to update that side of things.

Adding spambayes-dev back in. Hopefully the conversation will be

it would be a big deal to get you added as an official maintainer.
I'm not sure I've seen any bug reports, and like I said, I had no idea it
was included in any Linux distributions. Do you have specific bugs to
report?

I released SpamBayes 1.1b2. It fixes two bugs. One was an incorrectly
structured except clause. The other handles the case where
urlparse.urlparse fails to parse some bogus URLs.
I uploaded to PyPI and was able to pip install it on mail.python.org, so

Finally, you will need fairly large collections of spam and ham
emails. The TESTING file should describe the requirements there.

When we tell people not to let their ham/spam imbalance get too bad, we are
referring to the number of messages trained. There is another way to look
at this imbalance though: number of tokens generated from each stream. For
me, ham messages are much larger on average than spam messages.
