That's terrible performance.  You should post more about which version of
the software you're using, how you trained it, etc -- something is screwed
up.

OTOH, that's suspiciously good performance <wink>.  An Unsure rate of under
1% isn't unheard of, but has rarely been seen in personal email.  I got
rates that low in the early days, testing on a corpus of tech mailing-list
msgs.  No "commercial" email of any kind counted as ham on that list, so the
job was much easier than sorting out my own email (which includes lots of
ham from, e.g., online merchants and financial institutions, much of which
is trying to sell me something).  Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!

Believe it or not, it's more the result of sweat than of magic.  The March
issue of "Linux Journal" has an article by Gary Robinson about the
mathematical underpinnings of this project, and Richie Hindle has another
article there about the deployment aspects.  It's easy when you know the
tricks <wink>.
