I have yet to look into this at home here David, my Bayes says "00" on this one at the moment as I didn't have any before I trained it initally, and it scores well below the auto threshold. At least, if my interpretation of all the Bayes stuff is correct, then it is well below.

I've seen many previous posts about surbl, but haven't got that far yet. So now might be a good time! I've recently got Bayes and a few network tests working and that's all going well, so now I'm happy to move onto the next one.
