Thanks, Magnus, I forgot about fakereject. Actually, the most compelling 
usecase for this feature is to fakereject all of your high-scoring spam, 
but deliver it not to the quarantine, but instead to your spam corpus 
archive. That lets you do post-facto analysis on your spam filtering 
performance, and makes it easy to determine how new rules or score 
changes would impact that performance.
