OK, thank you, Dale.  Last night I saw the way I had set it up was working: I 
used 110 for my first account, and 111 for the second.  The settings showed:

Port 110, incoming.domain.com:110
Port 111, mail.otherdomain.net:110

So I knew it was set up right and that the ports were really just the unique 
references within Spambayes to the individual servers, not the actual ports 
being used to access those servers (based on the ":110" suffix, I could see it 
was doing that right).  Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
James

  James,

  It's not the mailservers whose ports need to be unique.  Rather, it is the 
port which Spambayes uses to
  receive mail from a server which must be unique.  If you have 3 accounts, you 
could use 8110, 8111, and 8112
  for Spambayes' ports.
  If you look at the web configuration page (http://localhost:8880/config in 
most cases), the 1st two boxes are for this
  purpose and have good explanations accompanying them.

  Example
  Remote Servers: mail.server1.com,pop.server2.net,pop.server3.com
  SpamBayes Ports: 8110,8111,8112

  Then the incoming server port in the mail client would be configured as
  email1 - localhost:8110
  email2 - localhost:8111
  email3 - localhost:8112

  HTH,
  Dale

    OK, I hadn't seen the FAQ on how to do the "localhost" part.  
    Still don't know how multiple accounts that all use server port 110 should 
be set up...
