I've run into a situation where I get emails that so stubborn that
even after repeated training they still classify as spam when they
should be innocent.

I have always retrained these messages when I've found them in my spam folder.

For a long time I used teft, but recently I've switched to toe to
avoid inadvertantly reinforcing misclassifications where I might miss
them.

What I've been doing after checking these emails is testing them on
the command line:

# dspam --classify --stdout < {path-to-mail-file}

Then to train them as innocent additional times:

# dspam --source=corpus --class=innocent < {path-to-mail-file}

And repeat until the mail is properly classified.

This has worked for some stubborn emails - after say 5-10 retrainings,
but now I've come across a couple which are stuck even after
re-feeding them dozens of times.

Is there anything I can do to fix this or get additional information
to debug the issue?
