So I am trying to understand what is happening with my dspam install and why it 
is working well for some users and not at all for one.

I created a dspam user (intended to be corpus fed and used as a merged group), 
following this tutorial from Stevan: 
http://sourceforge.net/p/dspam/mailman/message/29158188/

I fed it some spam and ham and then started testing to see how it does. Below 
is a result that I don’t understand. Shouldn’t the FN be incrementing instead 
of the TN when I feed it a spam with “—class spam”?

(the email that i am feeding it, “test-3”, is a short spam message which has no 
dspam headers)
