If you (or anyone else) trains on messages with that tag line, that training will affect the processing of future messages that include it, whether the trainer thinks such messages are ham or spam (or some combination). It seems to me that this is as it should be. Whether or not a message is "certified virus free" and whether or not it is spam are completely separate issues in my mind, but if it turns out that all certified messages are ham, SpamBayes will figure that out based on the training.
Personally, I'm skeptical of "certified virus free" tag lines. What's to keep me or anyone else from adding the text at the end of my messages? But if you wish to set up your mail client to treat all messages with a "certified virus free" tag line as ham, you can probably do so. You appear to be using Outlook Express, in which case I imagine you can set up a rule to process such messages before your spam filtering rule takes effect.

This will at least prevent any mail from being classified as spam for those of us using AVG or other anti-virus that uses a certified virus free tag-line. _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
