Hello Nuno, Just use the mailtrain backend instead of the dspam exec backend. That way you will gain more than just the plugin "allowing" you to move non-marked messages. Since the messages enter the mail system again through forward, you can even cook up a method to retrain if the message already has a X-DSPAM header, or feed it as corpus if it doesn't. Another advantage of the mailtrain backend is that it will most likely scale a lot better than the dspam exec backend, if there are lots of simultaneous retrains. Regards, Hugo Monteiro.
