As mentioned, there are places you can download a corpus of spam, but it's not recommended because your filters will work better if they're trained on the spam _you_ receive. Keep in mind that it's very easy and very safe to train SA as you go. If you just create a spam folder now and start dumping all your spam into it, then run sa-learn over it periodically then they'll get added to your database. While your database is below 250 spam and 250 spam, SA will just use its 'standard' filters. As soon as you hit that minimum, the Bayesian is enabled (assuming it's enabled in your config of course). Then as long as you keep feeding it ham and spam it'll keep getting more accurate. -Cheers! -- ,-------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | Everyone is entitled to an *informed* opinion. < > Please do not | - Harlan Ellison < > reply off-list. | < `-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
