Hi Stevan,

Apologies, it seems I wasn't clear at all. Let me explain and rephrase it.

That was my point, actually :) 
What *I* would like to implement is a threshold to quarantine/drop:
- Anything that is classified as spam with, let's say, 90% of confidence or 
more would get dropped.
- Anything below this confidence would be quarantined.

As I understand it, this behaviour would only be possible with an alternative 
quarantine agent.

OK, here it is:
Dspam is fantastic :) 
After as few as six days of training, whitout even starting with a corpus, the 
extremely few false positive that I get are classified with a confidence 
below 60%.

This is why I believe that I could safely drop "most certainly spams" instead 
of putting them in quarantine.

Best regards,

Amand.
