[spambayes-dev] Training Question

Greetings one and all:

At what point is SPAMBayes sufficiently trained?

Clarification:
Ham cutoff: 0.2
Spam cutoff: 0.65
Mine the received headers: Yes
Replace non-ascii characters: Yes
Summarise email prefixes: Yes
Summarise email suffixes: Yes
Train when filtering: Yes
Total emails trained: Spam: 7338  Ham: 1917

Using these settings, HAM have NEVER gone to UNSURE or SPAM,
however, if I get 10 e-mails, with 1 as HAM, and 9 as SPAM, 3 SPAM
end up in SPAM, 3 SPAM end up in UNSURE, and 3 SPAM end up in HAM.

What's going on, here? Do I need to adjust my settings more, or do
I need to train more?


Sincerely,
Andrew Burns
