Makes sense.

Don't you? I'd have thought you *do* want those, because although a
subset of tests have identified the mail as spam, if you tell SA to
learn the mail it will also increase the likely spaminess of the rest
of the text, thus increasing the accuracy of the Bayesian algorithm
next time.

Yep, I think I'll need to do that.

Actually I've got a bit more of a problem because I'm intending to
share the Bayesian database in MySQL across several servers, and I'll
need to do the 'learning' centrally. So I need to forward the learning
candidates from the satellite servers to the centre.

Thanks for the input...
