Considering MaxEnt

I wondered if you considered using MaxEnt instead of what I presume is Naive Bayes?

Although this would probably make training a lot more time-intensive, it could be done in the background (as most users' resource usage is minimal) and in batches when sufficient number of new e-mails has been classified.

Then features like number of links in an e-mail, average length of sentences, etc. could be incorporated, which would probably improve the result.

Otherwise thumbs up for this. I almost never use beta's, but this pretty much compels me to go for it.

TaQuilla uses the same code as is currently used in the internal TB junk processor, which is Naive Bayes. At the moment I do not have any plans to change that or allow other options.

"I almost never use beta's, but this pretty much compels me to go for it."

I have not updated TaQuilla for a couple of betas, and at the moment it is a little out of date. If you are at all risk-averse, I do not recommend using it until I have done some updates on it.
