I've just upgraded to James 2.3.0 from 2.2.0 to take advantage of the

MySQL driver not being included in the tar file (despite what it says on
the web page [1]) the upgrade was very smooth.

I just noticed that today, I *promise* to update the docs.


Now I want to wage war on spam!  I've used the example config.xml to
create a 'spam' and 'not.spam' email address which seems to work.
However I'm using a Thunderbird client to forward the emails to these
two addresses and it occurs to me that thunderbird is forwarding emails
by creating an attachment out of the original received message.  Isn't
the Bayesian analysis filter going to eventually think that any emails
from me are spam rather than analysing the actual message in the attachment?

No but first can't you make it forward them like a reply?
Alternatively can you "reply" and change the address to the feeder address?

The reason why it won't block your address and things is because there
should be an equivalent amount of mail with your details in the ham
and the spam, which means that there is a tendency for that stuff to
be "neutral"
