Sorry, but as it says at the top of:

    http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/contact.html

    There are currently five mailing lists of interest. All lists are
public, and all are
    publicly archived. This is normal practice for open-source projects, and you
    should be aware that all email sent to one of these addresses will
be visible
    to the world

Likewise at the top of the SpamBayes mailing-list page:

    http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes

    Please note that this is a public mailing list: all messages sent
to this list
    are visible to the public, and are publicly archived.


> Don't you have client confidentiaity in mind?

Actually no -- because the SpamBayes project has no clients in the
sense you have in mind.  All work is done by unpaid volunteers, who
freely share their work.  Nobody asked you for money when you obtained
the software, neither when you asked for help.  With no revenue, the
only way it's possible to offer support /at all/ is via these public
mailing lists, where all the software's developers and users can
volunteer their help, whenever they're so inclined and can make spare
time for that.

While I expect that will prove to be a waste of your time, I agree
it's better than taking illegal action ;-)
