But if I remember correctly, TOE should only be used if the database is
quite mature. Doesn't this hold anymore?
And I forgot to mention, for most of the accounts this is actually set
to 'TUM' (that I -- from the description -- prefer).

Btw: For re-training: Is there some nice 'junk database' one could use
(for non-junk I can just use the current messages)? I know that when I
first installed DSPAM it took me quite a while to find such a junk
database -- but I forgot where it came from.

So what is the actual effect of setting:

TrainingMode teft
Preference "trainingMode=TUM"

(and assuming no override is done by the user)

And if I understand this correctly, I can drop any Preference thingy
that I don't want to be overridden by a user anyway?
