Hi all,

since it is hard for a person to teach the spamassassin which mails are spam  
and which are not for all users, i was thinking about doing the following:

Create a mail account let's say : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tell trusted users to forward the mails they identify as spam to "[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]" .
Run a cron job that launch "sa-learn" on the mailbox "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", 
making the spamassassin identify them as spam.

Since i don't really know how Bayesian filter works internally; i have some 
concerns:
- First when we forward a messagge there is  a character (usually ">") added at 
each line; So should i remove this character before applying the sa-learn 
command ?
- second when we forward an email there's an added header the one from the user 
we trust, should i remove also this added header before applying sa-learn? Does 
leaving this header when applying sa-learn could make any misclassification of 
the trusted users ?

PS: I have autolearn on, so this procedure i am trying to implement will 
increase the probability of identifiying words in spam mails !

Thanks in advance for any help.
