John, by 'spam corpus' are you referring to the 'spam' side of the Bayesian
filter?  If we manually delay/review these known-bad accounts are we
creating a window of opportunity for those same messages to pass through to
current users?  

I've been assuming we would need to create an intentional delay (e.g. 60
second) on all Amavis processing, combined with an exception for the
known-bad addresses wherein they would immediately get added to the Bayesian
filter.  Does the Bayesian update in real-time as you feed it new spam or do
you need to request a periodic rebuild?

Also I still don't understand why everyone is so reticent to immediately
black-list messages based on these 100% known-bad addressess.  For instance,
is it possible for a bulk spam message to trigger false positives?  

There is zero concern about valid company clients/contacts mistakenly
emailing these ex-employees, e.g. these were entry-level staff who did not
interact with clients and just used their office email for personal use (and
got themselves onto lots of spam lists in the process).  Also, we can pick
ex-staff who have been gone more than 5 years if necessary.  I mean, we
literally are 100% positive their incoming email is spam...
