My statistics show an accuracy rate of 98.1%. Frankly, I though the percentage was even higher. I don't recall the last time SpamSieve made a mistake.

I too trained the product using old junk mail and old saved messages, and spam sieve is unbelievably accurate. Statistics report that I have 83% of my mail is spam, 8 false positives and 2 false negatives. This product has an amazing 99.8 % accuracy rate and has had from about day one ( I trained it with 2 years worth of mail then went through the corpus and removed all entries that only had 1 or 2 hits. ) The product does yell at me every day that my corpus is to large, and that I should start over and retrain for accuracy and performance reasons. As far as accuracy goes, I couldn't ask for a more accurate product. I am happy with the performance even with a monsterous corpus. periodically I cleanout the rules with only a single hit which in my case usually removes about 100,000 rules from the corpus. I don't have any relation to the author of the software other than having sent him $25.00. One of the best investments ever made. If only it interfaced with thunderbird? HINT HINT HINT!!!
