Hi, I just wondered why my bayes filter does not learn as much ham
mails as before. Then I realized that the USER_IN_WHITELIST
shortcirciut is set to spam which has tflags
noautoloearn. Does this really make sense?
The rationale is that you put an address on the whitelist when they
might send mail that looks like spam but you know it is really ham. If
it looks like spam, you don't want the Bayes filter to learn that it
is ham, because from anyone else it would be spam.
Another reason not to do so is the frequency with which people
mis-configure their whitelists.
If you mistakenly whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED], as many people have
done when first setting up SA, your DNS database will be poisoned rather
quickly if it allows such messages to autolearn.
