I would recommend using a database composed of an order of magnitude 
less spam and ham (on the order of 2000 apiece). This has proven to be 
the most accurate in terms of individual precision. Pick the 2000 
spammiest spams and 2000 hammiest hams and create a database using 
those and see if your false negative rate doesn't go down.
