[Spambayes-checkins] spambayes/scripts sb_server.py,1.26,1.27

[Tony Meyer]

Update of /cvsroot/spambayes/spambayes/scripts
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv9437/scripts

Modified Files:
	sb_server.py 
Log Message:
Apparently, some people are using spam_cutoff values of 0.3 or lower.  This doesn't
seem like a sensible idea to me at all!  Add a warning about it so that people at least
know that it's not generally what you ought to be doing (and a corresponding one
about the ham_cutoff).

While we're there, warn them if the ham_cutoff is higher than the spam_cutoff, which
means that nothing will work like it is meant to.
