[dspam-users] When to use TOE mode

Hi,

I've recently setup dspam for a slightly difference purpose but still
using it in the same way most others are. Very simply we have all our
email copied into a single mailbox. I use dspam to filter out non work
related email. Our business is all about welding so I thought dspam
should be able to recognise welding related stuff after a bit of
training.

It seems to be working quite well. I am currently using 3.6.8 and
training using TEFT.

TP True Positives: 1631
TN True Negatives: 23459
FP False Positives: 57
FN False Negatives: 1265
SC Spam Corpusfed: 987
NC Nonspam Corpusfed: 46
TL Training Left: 0
SHR Spam Hit Rate 56.32%
HSR Ham Strike Rate: 0.24%
OCA Overall Accuracy: 94.99%

Would I be better off now switching over to TOE? I believe that
sometimes email is coming through and although I don't want to see it
(consider it non work related or spam) it's getting lost in the
thousands of emails we get daily. These are then being seen as TN's and
doesn't this distort the tokens?

Thanks

Gareth
