Thanks very much for all the info. I'll file it, and work my way through it.

Regarding your comment that a bayes filter was not sufficient on it's own, I 
did see a post on this list a while back, where someone was first filtering 
using SA, then followed by a second filtering with a bayes filter, which I 
think was "spambayes" (couldn't find that, but think it was supposed to be on 
sourceforges site). They claimed that what was missed by SA was picked up by 
the second filtering with the bayesian filter, and virtually eliminated all 
the spam.

Open season for hunting spammers sounds like a good idea. Just gotta get that 
one through congress. Perhaps the NRA will support it.  In the UK they banned 
fox hunting. Personally I don't think that was a bad thing. After all the 
poor old foxes only stole the odd chicken to survive. Now. Replacing that 
with spammer hunting. Same hounds, trained to detect the spammers, using spam 
samples (not the "Spam" pressed meat). Capture a few spammers, set them 
loose, and then set the hounds after them. Great fun.

Nigel.
