I don't think that's necessarily the case. "Ham" has a certain panache. It
rolls of the tongue better than anything else I've seen. It distinguishes
Spambayes from the herd a bit, and may be a clever little bit of marketing.
(I noted before that some people in the SpamAssassin community have picked
up the term.) I wouldn't change it until it's demonstrated to be a
liability.
