At home I trained spambayes (command line, procmail) with a 1:10 ham/spam ratio (60 ham, 600 spam), I don't see anything happening. I'm quite sure the problem isn't spambayes, the problem is certainly something I have missed in the configuration. I blame cryptic documentation.

I don not have a .spambayesrc file, should I? I don't want filtering to be done for each user separately, but for all the users at once. -- Amedee _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
