So, if I direct all spam to a spam box and check the box in the mornings and
verify that all the email there "is" spam then I could run the
antispamseeder.exe every morning to keep the word list maintained? Your
thoughts please?

You can train the statistical filter by taking messages that you consider
spam or non-spam and place them in a mailbox

You can then use the antispamseeder.exe utility to read the messages in that
mailbox and it will update the word list

See
http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/guide/imailug801/Chapter18%20AntiSpam1
0.html, it describes how to use this utility

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the advice.

I'm using the supplied Imail statistical filtering list.  The most
recent one.  I fixed these problems with the last version (June) I was
using, by deleting the words from the list.  Was looking for a cleaner
solution.

I'm almost afraid to ask this:  Is there a way to train the Imail system
myself?  The current system catches a lot of spam, but as you point out
it uses a blunderbuss to do it.  As a small ISP, I need something a bit
less haphazard for a general client base.
