How accurately is Bayes classifying messages?

You can safely delete the files with "expire" in their filename, those are temporary work files. If you delete the entire Bayes database, then Bayes won't do anything until it's learned more new spams and hams. I would suggest not zapping all of bayes. Personally, I don't use autolearn, but then I have a very small user base and can easily manually train. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It is sadly humorous that those who are the most shrilly vocal about bemoaning the increasing violations of civil liberties by the federal government and comparing the president to Hitler are also those who are working hardest to ensure the citizens of our nation are disarmed and unable to effectively resist that same government.
