Now you've even puzzled me more.  So I should leave the subject on 
filenames turned on for the rebuild script, even after going off test.

Gotcha.  So does ASSP do the moving then?  Because I would think if the 
email is in the spam folder and I reported it as not spam but it still 
exists when the database is rebuilt... it would still be seen as spam... 
or is there where the error directory comes in?

Do you ever worry about a missed email because it's blocked?  Even if I 
tested for weeks, I sure an email would slip into the spam void every 
once in awhile after I went off testmode.  Yes, I realize I could leave 
that on so it doesn't, but my question is, don't YOU worry about a 
missed email.  Is the general consensus that after good training, it 
operates pretty flawlessly?  I ask because I really am thinking of 
leaving it in test mode so I don't miss an email.

Gotcha.  So even though a spam email isn't passed to the MTA, it will 
still go into the folder to maintain a good spam filter.
