Unfortunately, I can't get it working properly -- training the database works, as the database size keeps increasing, but the "guess" function returns either (0,0) or None depending on whether I indent the return or not (this result occurs even when I copy and paste previously classified text verbatim). Is there some "magic size" that the database has to grow to before it starts actually classifying entries, or am I missing something completely different? (I've tried first with your code converted into a class, and second by just copying and pasting your code).

The reason is that the Spammers are aware of these filtering techniques whether it is Filtering with BogoFire or some other. There are many websites available that are providing the information on Anti-Spamming Solutions but most of this information is either irrelevant or not useful.
