Summary: Training Question

Initial Comment:
Stupid Question:

I get a *lot* of spam - Some of which shows up as 
questionable.

I the ham I get is about 1/4 the questionable items.  
This leaves an inbalance in training materials - even if I 
move all ham back to questionable and train on it (a 
PITA by the way).

Is there a suggested workaround, other than directly 
deleting questionable items and not training on them?

*Very* happy with the program btw.

Jim Hall

This is rather late, but:

The wiki has a lot of information about training techniques:
<http://entrian.com/sbwiki>.  Otherwise adjusting the
thresholds (as asphunck said) may work best.

So because of your imbalance in training material you 
supposedly get a biased spam score. E.g. the spam score 
would be too high. 

Couldn't you just adjust the triggering levels that 
marks "questionable" and "sure spam".
