That's what I propose... Keeping a central database for typical spam
words (a public database containing the SPAM-Corpus), and a private
database containing the non-spam words occurances (non-spam corpus). The
words probability database is kept separate on each computer...

Guess this would help.

By the way, the people I write this thing for are not my customers; the
admin-job I do here isn't paid for. Just for fun. :) (I live in this
dorm)
