  = Things to remember =
  
+  * '''Do not''' train Bayes on different mail streams or public spam corpora.  These method will mislead Bayes into believing certain tokens are spammy or hammy when they are not.
   * To ''train'' Spamassassin, you get a mailbox full of messages that you know are spam and use the sa-learn program to pull out the tokens and remember them for later:
  
    '''sa-learn --showdots --mbox --spam ''' ''spam-file''
