I'm running MailScanner as a gateway between the world, an
internal Exchange server _and_ an internal Domino server.  MS
scans all mail to and from the Internet, as
well as mail between the internal Exchange and Domino server.

In this type of configuration, is it worth using bayes?  I'm
confused as to how I would properly train bayes to be effective
in this environment, so I haven't bothered trying it.  Does
anyone have any opinions on how and if this would work?
