This will instruct Amavis-New to train DSPAM with new ham and spam based on 
your SpamAssassin decision. I personally don't trust so much SpamAssassin but 
this is just me and you appear to be happy with the results from SpamAssassin 
and you obviously trust them.

When I started with statistical filtering I was under the impression that 
pre-training much will help me to catch more spam. But to be honest: With the 
right tokenizer and pvalue, DSPAM is learning very fast. A hand full of 
corrections help you to get above 99%.

If you want to pre-train your DSPAM, then have a look at this thread:

I capture them with a transport rule in Postfix and then reroute them to 
another transport where DSPAM is not the content filter.

If [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are the same 
user, then setting them up with the same UID in dspam_virtual_uids will force 
DSPAM to use the same statistical data and preferences for all 3 users.

Depends on your setup.

What do you mean with that? Could you rephrase this question?
