You misinterpreted what I was saying.  I was not at all suggesting sending
old spam.  What I was talking about was copying spam@ with spam that does
not fail sniffer _as it comes in_, or _during same day/next day reviews_

That is exactly what I was suggesting.  We'll put it on our list to write a
filter to do so when time permits.  Just trying to help.
