No. To prevent this, the text is part of an attachment. Only the SHA1 hash 
of the first 512 byte of an attachment is going in to the spamdb/hmmdb.

Betreff:        [Assp-test] Question: SPAM corpus pollution due to 
reporting of    blocked files possible?



Now that ASSP_AFC v 4.36 is doing such a great job of blocking MS Office
macro files, we're seeing a lot of "your invoice" emails coming through
with their attachments stripped.  I'm thrilled to see this.

I also see users reporting these as spam, because they are.

My question is if there's an possibility of the spam corpus being tainted
by the contents of the (now) text file that now contains the text:
The attached file (FILENAME) was removed from this email by ASSP for 
policy
reasons!
our version actually says
The attached file (FILENAME) was removed from this email by ASSP for 
policy
reasons!  Contact ad...@ourcharity.org for help.

The text file is getting back to the server as a report.

Would phrases from that file now be included in the corpus?   Would legit
mail that comes in with say the text "Contact ad...@ourcharity.org for
help." in it now be more likely to be rejected bayes or hmm?
