New bayes poison

[Michael Monnerie <mi...@it-management.at>]

Hi, I just received some new bayes poison attempt. I never had one so 
large, maybe that could start to be a bit of problem?

Also, this message seems to have a domainkeys sig. Is SA testing for the 
validity of that?

 	To the best of my knowledge, it isn't.  Temporarily you get more 
hapaxes (tokens seen just once) in your bayes data, but those will get 
expired sooner or later.
 	There's no effect on accuracy if the tokens truly are seen once. 
If they show up again in spam, it actually helps because the phrases help 
identify the second spam.
 	Cheers,
