Well, right now, there are no bayes hits at all. I cleared bayes to re-train, after correcting for a botched initial scheme. While I am getting a fair amount of missed spam, there is very little mis-classified. So I am looking for a way to speed up learning. So, I could just feed a bunch of good mail, to --ham, and spam that is correctly marked as spam as well as missed spam, to --spam? or do I need a rest? joe a.
