I'm guessing your using 'junkmail/notjunkmail' accounts on the server  
where everybody is sending their SPAM (junkmail) and HAM  
(notjunkmail) to.

Is it possible that some people may be making an error and sending  
SPAM to the 'notjunkmail' account? You might want to keep an eye on  
that.

If you've employed another method of training disregard this post or  
better yet describe your training method so that we can see if the  
problem does lie there.

I believe not training it with HAM can also be detrimental,  
especially during it's initial training. It needs to have at least  
200 HAM messages for the bayes filter to be accurate.
