[Spambayes] Is simple better?

[Andrew J. Coutermarsh]

Yes, but if you do that, you're dramatically increasing the chance of
getting false positives and false negatives.  You gotta be careful about
doing something like that.

I have an email address that goes into my current mailbox, but it is almost
entirely spam now; I would say that less than one tenth of one percent of
all the email that comes to it is legit.  Why do I still filter it?  Because
there's still a small chance that I could miss something by either disabling
the account.

I spent a few hours this weekend to get SpamBayes to work, with
Evolution on RedHat 9.   I did not succeed.

But then I picked up an idea from a newsgroup about just creating
a filter that only allows email with my name in the recipient list
through to my inbox.

Now I am filtering 99 percent of my spam with a simple inbox filter.

less is more.
