Sorry; I didn't understand the intent of your original message. (I'm not sure Skip did, either.) I don't retain spam myself, because a) the messages sent by spammers evolves over time as they seek to get around the latest anti-spam techniques, b) SpamBayes is easy and quick to train, and c) it's just one more thing to manage. If I think SpamBayes isn't doing as good a job as I'd like, I just start over from scratch. (That doesn't generally happen more than once or twice a year.) Within a couple of days and a few dozen messages trained on I'm generally getting satisfactory results.
Bottom line: I don't have any suggestions that address the question of how to groom your spam. (Given my track record of late, I'm starting to wonder if I'd be more use if I kept silent.) -jesse- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chermesh Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 2:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Spambayes] Trimming a Junk Email folder Isn't it a waste, to delete the complete contents of the folder?
