Is there a generic ISP or email system whose userbase leans much more to the adult than to the general audience? My email host's customer base includes several of the former, but they're drowned out by the more common type of customer, and they don't have problems with system-wide bayes.

The method I've used is to a) see if the missed-spam folder or not-spam folder have any contents. If not, skip to the next user. b) Move the contents out of that folder to work folder. c) learn from the work folder. d) skip to the next user. That way there's no old messages to worry about. Make sure the users know to "copy" mails to the not-spam folder rather than move them, if they want to keep the originals. Bob Menschel
