Sorry. For some reason I answered that backwards. The reason for using subjects as filenames is so you can easily identify messages in the corpus's while you are initially running ASSP. You can consider it another type of test-mode to use while you initially build the corpus's and confirm that ASSP is running properly. >> Gotcha. So does ASSP do the moving then?

The messages are handled differently that the regular corpus folders - because they are errors. I cannot recall the weighting process that is used for error processing, but these messages should stay in their own folders. Error reported messages get heavier weighting in the Bayesian database to compensate for the initial false-negative or false-positive word weighting condition.. > Do you ever worry about a missed email because it's blocked?

Typically the person will contact the intended recipient, and that person will make certain they get added to the whitelist. The real problem is if the message comes from an automated source - as no one might notice that a message was blocked unless they realize a message they should have gotten had never come in. For me, this is the only issue I have ever had with ASSP - that is if you want to call it an issue. But remember, ASSP is intended to be an administrative hands-off solution. The users should be educated to know that they may need to pre-whitelist an address via the email interface. They should make it a practice. > Gotcha.

Some messages may be excluded completely based on the configured logging settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
