I don't think I've ever heard of this being a problem before. If you train SpamSieve with the confirmations that you receive, it will pick up plenty of characteristics besides the sender. If you send your SpamSieve Log file to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, I may be able to give you some more specific advice for improving the accuracy. > But here is another odd one. > This morning, I received two SPAM those which content are identical. > The > only difference was the subject line.

I think what happened is that after deciding that the first message was non-spam, SpamSieve trained itself with this message. When it saw the second message, it had already learned from the first (nearly identical) one, so it thought the second one was much less spammy. When you mark both messages as spam in PowerMail, it will learn that they are spam. -- Michael Tsai <http://www.c-command.com>
