Hi, spamassassin has configurable levels etc. You can tell it that mail scoring over 3 - 4 - 8 whatever is rated as spam.
You can set up rules etc (via procmail/spamassassin etc) to put the mails that are rated as spam in a different folder. At a later date, you can check this folder for false positives. Any messages that are missed you put manually into the spam folder, and get spmassassin to train on this folder.... Now, why use spammassin in preference to kmail etc. easy, cause when you change mail clients, your rules do not need to change. So, when remotely accessing your mail box, it is pine (for example) when locally accessing your mail box, it is thunderbird and everything is seemless. Your mail system can be setup as something like spamassassin - > clamav -> procmail so that all your incoming mail is nicely filtered into the correct folder. Derek.
