What does this give you? Messages are already tagged with numbers indicating spammishness. Is adding "Maybe" and "Probably" just helpful because it makes filtering easier? It really isn't adding any information. I find that a decent bit of my spam is in the 5-10 range anyway. Which is indeed where all of my false positives are, too. Checking three folders for false positives wouldn't be any faster than checking one is now ... >From my point of view (I know others use SA differently) SA should just be a filter. Pass messages through it for labeling. It shouldn't be auto-reporting things or doing delivery. There are already tools to do those things. -- Charlie Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frontier Internet, Inc. http://www.frontier.net/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
