Thanks Steve!
I will do as you suggest, I knew something was up with the bayes DB but
didn't have a clue as to what to do. As you will see in another post the
SpamCopURI does seem to be working (along with bayes... don't ask me) but I
would like to clean it up a bit.

I am hesitant on adding Razor, Pyzor, DCC and rules_du_jour because of the
performance hits I've read about. This all runs on a lowly 233PII with 196MB
of ram and is comfortably processing 5-8k emails a day but I'm afraid that
if I add more rules I may cause more trouble than it's worth. I have no
budget for more horsepower. And since the consensus seems to be SpamCopURI
works so well, that's the one I chose to go with first. I suppose I could
add the others one at a time and baby sit and see how it goes but I've got a
ton of other things to do around here! :)

Thanks again for your suggestions.
Kind regards,
Ken
