[Spambayes] SpamBayes compatibility issue?

[Ken Goekjian]

I maxed the start delay for background processing, which seems to have
helped somewhat.  As I train the new machine ("delete as spam" button),
I am also getting fewer changed scores.  The attached log is from this
morning.  Only the last 2 messages ("Photoshop 8" and "Footlocker Gift
Card") bounced back into my inbox.  The Photoshop 8 message reports a
spam score of 99%, the Footlocker message reports a spam score of 100%.
The log file was viewed with the default verbosity of 0.

   Thanks,
      Ken Goekjian

Not that I recall offhand.

Probably <wink>.

The log file would be particularly useful.  The next time this  
occurs, please send us a copy of the log file, before you manually do  
the filtering.  SpamBayes->SpamBayes Manager->Advanced->Diagnostics-
