Hello everyone,

To better train our Bayes I thought about setting up two popboxes (spam@ and
ham@) on a local domain, to keep them hidden from the outside world. My
intention is to bounce there (by hand) false positives and false negatives.

I have modified exim's configuration to drop all non-local mail coming to
those two addresses. My crontab will launch sa-learn on those maildirs every
hour or so. This way I can also keep a customized corpus of examples.

My final step to make it work, is to have SA _not_ check/rate the mail going
to those addresses. I know that Bayes would skip SA's headers but the Subject
line would still have ** SPAM ** on false positives, and I don't think I want
to train Bayes to recognize that as ham.

Since I am pretty new to the wonderful world of Spamassassin, before clicking
all of my pieces into place, I thought about submitting this plan to you and
see if any flag gets raised. Maybe it's the oldest idea in the book but after
a very minor search I didn't find any evidence of its popularity, and that
made me think that maybe it's a deeply flawed idea and I can't see that for
some reasons.

Thank you for your attention.
