It's that simple. A pure Bayesian filter would include all tokens. Pragmatically real-world implementations have to prune most of the tokens to protect again poisoning, but pruning down to one is just wrong, and should never happen. The fact that I leaned a sub-set of the mailing list ham is a red-herring. There is no substantial difference between learning a sub-set of a mailing list and learning a lower-volume list. The email had a wealth of ham indicators that Bogofilter ignored. If it had been forced to used more than one token the filter would have behaved correctly, in spite of Tuffmail's aggressive tuning. _______________________________________________ Bogofilter mailing list [email protected] http://www.bogofilter.org/mailman/listinfo/bogofilter
