Bayes scoring
Hi all,
I run the bayes classifier on more than 4500 e-mails. All (except of cca 100
e-mails) contained test=BAYES_*. Does anybody have any idea why these 100
e-mails were not scored by the bayes classifier?
At http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html, it is written that "When new mail
arrives, it is scanned into tokens, the most interesting fifteen tokens,
..., are used to calculate the probability that the mail is spam". How many
tokens are used by the SA's bayes classifier to calculate the probability
that the mail is spam/ham?
Thanks a lot.

It varies. It uses all the tokens above a minimum token strength, up to
a maximum of 150.

No. I am playing with Bayes and RelayCountry plugins. I have enabled only
Bayes, RelayCountry, Check plugins and Bayes rules.

I cannot, I should ask the owner of the e-mails. I tried with databases of
spam and ham e-mails. What is interesting it happened only to the database
of ham emails.

Do you have any shortcircuit enabled?
Could you post a raw example of one of those mails, not scored by bayes?
