The main benefit of the baysian filter is the ability to identify what a particular individual considers spam. Getting other people to send you their spam will skew the development of the probability tables surely. jaw On Thu, 25 Sep 2003, Paul Smedley wrote: > Hi All, > I know I asked for this once before, but I'm in search of Spam again to train up the Bayesian > filters in SpamAssassin. > > Please direct any/all Spam you may have to spam at smedley.info > > Promise I'll keep it all this time so that I have a ready collection :) > > Cheers, > > Paul. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 13:14:39 +1000 From: Simon Coulter Subject: Re: SEC: UNCLASSIFIED:- Bookmark this page On Monday, September 29, 2003, at 08:03 AM, Dennis.Nolan at defence.gov.au wrote: >> From there I followed a link to OS/2 Warp and from there a link to IBM > OS/2 Strategy for 2003 > > http://www-3.ibm dot com/software/os/warp/strategy/ > > It's a long time since I read an IBM strategy, they seemed to only > mention Linux, but this one has a future plan for OS/2. Although this strategy does indicate more support for OS/2 than the ones published for 2001 and 2002 it still says: ".... until platform neutrality has been achieved, and then change the operating system. " This is the real problem from the perspective of those who want to continue using OS/2--IBM don't want you to. They want you on something else Linux, WinDOS, etc. they don't care as long as you buy it from them, preferably buying services too. In fact, they make more money in many cases if you buy the hardware and OS from someone else and give IBM the services. Once enough big customers move IBM will likely drop OS/2 entirely. I just hope Serenity Systems can interest enough large customers in eCS to keep it alive.
