sure I know. But I think I know now where the problems is: all mail being forwarded from my old account to my new one is usually seen as ham. Bayes and AWL have assigned it a score of maybe -100. so case of an spam mail being delivered to that address it will rise to score to maybe -80 - which is obviously still not enough. so maybe bayes and awl should handle forwarded emails differently. andreas
