Not so good, if we're parsing From addresses... one common spammer
tactic is to make the mail appear to be coming from yourself.
Training on a lot of data coming from the user would eliminate
that as a spam clue...

In any case, given the ham:spam ratios recently bandied about,
I don't think there's really a problem finding sufficient ham
from other sources. ;-)
