Because these messages have so few tokens, it probably will
take a little more training on these than it might for
normal e-mail messages.

Also, you may be able to adjust the Possible Spam cutoff on
the Filtering tab of SpamBayes Manager to help out a little.
It will depend on how your other unsure messages are
scoring, but there's a good chance you could raise the
cutoff from 15 to 20 without increasing your false negatives
(spam in your Inbox).

sure, it only takes a time to train spambayes (i was too
impatient) after i had 5 faxes in the inbox the score is at
24% - so i think we can erase my message

The following tokens look like they would probably be pretty
consistent for incoming faxes, and the fact that none of
them appear in the "significant tokens" list seems to
indicate that you haven't trained any incoming fax messages.

'cc:none'
'content-type:text/plain'
'message-id:invalid'
'reply-to:none'
'sender:none'

29% isn't that high a score, and I don't think it would take
much training to drive that into the good message range. I
don't have the ability to receive faxes in my Inbox, so I've
never tried training one. Is SpamBayes preventing you from
training on these?
