Please excuse my bayes ignorance, but don't you have to train it
in some way to know what is really spam and what is really ham?
How do you train a system like this when it's acting as a
gateway?  I always assumed that there had to be user
intervention in the training process...

Slightly confused...but willing to learn.

Thanks,

Christian
