Definitely FPs.  I think SA has a very difficult time with solicited
commercial email, even with Bayes feeding.  I had to up my site-wide
installation to 10.0 to get only the worst of the worst and to stop
people's solicited Princeline / Day's Inn, etc. hotel confirmations and
travel/real estate deals lists from getting tagged.

And it doesn't help that Razor, DCC and Pyzor have a lot of users that
report legitimate solicited commercial email as spam (the people that
forget to uncheck "send me great offers" when they order a product from
a vendor, and then report those vendors' "great offers" as spam).

Maybe it's better to not use Bayes at all on a site-wide basis.  I've
noticed Columbia University doesn't use Bayes...

Subject: RE: [SAtalk] scoring system and values...

I don't know if this really fits in this subject or not.  However, I
keep
thinking while reading this thread if anyone considers real opt-in
advertisements/messages that get tagged by SA (like from OshKosh,
Travelocity, Lands' End, etc.) to be a FP or not.  Do site-wide Bayes
installs have a hard time differentiating without feeding?

Thanks,
Larry
