FYI, what I used to do for spam was pipe through SA then use bogofilter to weed out the false positives from what SA marked as spam. Then what SA declared as ham, I would run through bogofilter to weed out false negatives. My ISP complained about the amount of CPU time my spamc instance was using so I switched to pure bogofilter. With version 0.17 and a 8meg database w/ the 1 word counts weeded out, I'm a pretty happy camper with the exception of web sites HTML password reset requests. -- Chris Green Chicken's thinkin'
