This got me thinking and that's when B> digging deeper I noticed the apparent issue with the 'stat.bin' file? Ahh, I get it now. My explanation of the behavior of the '~' file is, I think, still correct. As to why you are not seeing any spam filtering, if you your black and white lists are doing was much as you say, I think that means that not much mail is getting to the actual BayesIt filter to be counted. Having said that, would have expected some info there. I can send you a copy of my stat.bin if you think that might help. Or uninstall / reinstall the plug in might help. My stat.bin is a binary file, so there may be a required structure for it to be recognized as a valid stat file. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.65 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
