To make corpus cleaning easier next time, you can save a list of emails
that scored high that weren't spam, to automatically skip. When viewing
emails as suggested in https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CorpusCleaning
they have a "X-Mass-Check-Id:" header which lists the file they came from,
which you can use to remove any email that was actually spam from the
id.hi file. Then copy the id.hi file to something like ~/sa/id.hi.good
and next time run:

sort -rn -k 2 ham.log | fgrep -vf ~/sa/id.hi.good | head -n 200 > id.hi
./mboxget < id.hi > mbox
mutt -f mbox

(Obviously, you can do the same for false positives.)


I remain concerned that people may not be doing this enough (while
recognizing it's irrelevant as long as rsync.spamassassin.org is down).
