Yeah I made that mistake in the first month or so. But that was years
ago. Since then I learned my lesson and move them to errors/notspam or
etc. But mostly that one.

Yeah I saw that first hand. Moving to errors is usually pretty
effective. With the exception as of lately, 1.3.3.8. But I believe that
version has some issues or bugs wrt to Bayesian logic and etc.

Seems I am having to put more copies in errors/notspam than before. And
even then, it's still now allowing subsequent ones through. Like some
damn bizjournals.com mailings. But according to the mail analyzer, it's
due to their excessive use of - or etc. They surround entries/news
articles with a line of those above and beyond. Seems to be the reason
those get rejected.

But I have moved > 50 to errors/notspam. And still they keep getting
rejected as Bayesian spam. 

That being said it was VERY effective against bogus eBay and PayPal
emails. Which one of my clients does a decent amount of volume there.
Over time with training. ASSP allows legit eBay and PayPal emails
through to certain addresses. Then all the bogus ones to other email
address get rejected :) That didn't take very long, but I believe was a
few weeks, or 1 month, training time.
