Yes, this user is set with all the default options for Bayes learning and a spam threshold of 5.0. The entire Bayes database was created via autolearn for this user. It seems to me that Bayes is highly sensitive to the types of ham and spam that each user gets. This user has a near perfect Bayes database created with autolearn. No false positives or negatives and 95% of spam hit by BAYES_99. My account, on the other hand, has a few false positives and only a 66% spam hit rate despite aggressive manual training. -- Bowie
