Well, I figured it out. Turns out bayesfilter defaults to adding HAM senders to its white list. I did not look into how it determines what is HAM, however, I had several hundred entries in the white list. When I deleted them, evertything started working perfectly again.

So, I guess the best solution is to train your filter lots of known spam, and not have it add ones to the white list.

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask. I started using Achim's BayesFilter a few months ago (v2.0.2) and it was working wonderfully. It never had any false spam, and occasionally let spam through. That was great by me. Then a few days ago, it kind of stopped working. It only catches about 10% of spam anymore. Any ideas what could be causing this?
