Also, its been my experience that Nigerian spams, by their nature are very problematic for bayes. I've repeatedly trained Bayes Manually on various Nigerian spams, and it never seems to stick.... I still keep seeing Nigerian spams with no bayes score, and sometimes negative scores. Also there are already a lot of tests for nigerian phrases, and they could probably do with some updating....
