I use sb_filter from procmail to filter and autotrain
incoming messages which end up on a cyrus imap server.
I then use sb_imapfilter for retraining mistakes. The
problem here is that sb_filter uses the
X-Spambayes-Trained header to indicate how a message was
trained, whereas
I get the same message-id behavior from our Exchange server.
Ah - so do I, I realise now. I was looking just in the headers that
SpamBayes shows in Show Clues, but I see I get the invalid token even
without one showing there. Looking at the tokenizing code, if there is no
message-id header,
I found the property for the Message-ID and added it to the headers.
What you get is the same message-id that an external user would see if
your Exchange server sends the message on via SMTP.
Great :)
I'll try to have a look at some of the others when I have more time,
