Well, if I understand correctly, emails from "known senders" will still
be trained as ham and thus ensure innocent hits on "the right tokens".
Since I have always used dspam as a low maintenance system in a rather
strict sense (no corpus feeding and such like), I think I'll opt for
keeping all the old tokens, switching back to teft for a while and
letting the expiration mechanism do its job. Unless I have overlooked
something, this should eventually produce pretty much the same result
as if I had started with an empty database except that emails from known
senders are guaranteed to be classified and trained as ham right from
the beginning.

Thanks for all your input folks!

Elias
