It makes the most sense to them, I think.

For some users who don't really want to train much, I'll set them up with a default wordlist (usually my own), which right off the bat usually gives them 99% accuracy. The minor differences between their ham/spam and mine they simply have to train on. Kmail could start off with a very, very simple wordlist containing very common hammy words (such as "kmail", "the", etc). E.g., they could train their welcome message as a ham. That would at least get the process started and would not really "pollute" the database, as those tokens would probably become neutral soon anyway. > > - bogofilter could start working after it was trained with spam emails only > > and get the ham stats after that, when users mark false positives. If this is possible, I'd recommend this approach too.
