Perhaps I misunderstood your question or I took it out of context.  My
comment was for the last part of your statement, " I mean, given that
those addresses *are* traps so they don't belong to any "human" and, by
definition, they only receive junk; why not using them to ALSO improve
the bayes spam corpus"

If you have "DoPenaltyMakeTraps" set to "use for spamaddresses", then in
any corporate situation where an employee no longer exists with a valid
email address, it doesn't mean that, "by definition, they only receive
junk".  They may still be receiving newsletters that other employees in
the company are also receiving.  By considering, as you're saying, then
those newsletters may end up being considered junk by bayes as well.  I
know I'm reaching a little bit, but that's all I was saying.  

Kind Regards,
Brett
