I am very happy with Spambayes' performance. I have it running in a number of different environments including two Linux boxes and a larger number of Windows machines. With the Linux boxes, I wonder if there's a point of diminishing returns with training - I ask because training is becoming quite unwieldy at this point - when I go to the training window, it loads around 4-500 messages and this can become tedious - especially when there's a message I'm unsure of; if I click it to see what's in it, the return to the training page has put all the checkmarks back to where they were when I first opened it, and I have to go through the whole list again. Is there a point at which it is better to delete the database and start training anew? I know this is probably a hard question to answer, but, I wonder if you have some thoughts on this subject.
